minus-squareHabahnowlinkfedilinkarrow-up19·11 months agoFascinating but I don’t quite understand how the ducks are trapped. Do they throw a net once the ducks get into the smaller area?
minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up13·11 months agoI think so, I’m not quite clear on it either.
minus-squareMicroplasticbrain@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up20·11 months agoThere is a video on the wiki page, essentially they lure/scare the duck down a tunnel made of a net with a trap door at the end and they can retrieve the duck there.
