Bird Catcher

He catches birds by placing bamboo poles (one of which he is currently holding) on top of trees. The pole's other top half is removed and juice from jack fruit (tagok sa nangka) is smeared on the surface of the insides of the pole. Rice or corn is then placed on top of wet surface. The jack fruit extract is very sticky that it traps the birds once they set their feet inside the pole.

 

Ingenious huh?
