Birdlimes are a type of adhesive bird trap that has been used for centuries. Synonyms for birdlimes include birdlime, lime twig, twig lime, and sticky branch. These traps consist of a sticky substance, typically made from the sap of certain trees, applied to a small branch or twig. When a bird lands on the trap, its feet become stuck, preventing it from flying away. Birdlime has been deemed illegal for trapping birds in many countries due to the cruel and unnecessary harm it causes. However, it is still used by some poachers today. It is important to refrain from using such traps and instead find alternative methods to control bird populations.
