Ortolan trap

Contemporary Era Europe
AL9858

This trap is designed to catch small birds and is traditionally used in France’s Landes department. Rudimentary but formidable, the grille traps the live bird as it knocks the rod over while nibbling at the seeds placed as bait. This trapping technique has particularly been used on ortolans, a species highly sought for its gourmet properties and which is now protected.
