Bird trapping ‘trick’

“One trick is to use glue manufactured for trapping rodents to ensnare the birds by their wing feathers.”

Where do you think this malpractice is taking place – no not Malta but in animal-loving Britain by unscrupulous goldfinch bird trappers as these birds are fetching about £100 each on the black market.

So please, all you British critics of Malta and the Maltese, clean your own house first, before trying to clean ours. This does not mean that I approve of illegal bird trapping and hunting which goes on in our island but “people in glass houses should never throw stones”.
