JOURNAL FEB 13 HIROSHI NAGAMI WAS A FARMER (CONT) WHO WAS INTERESTED IN BIRDS. HE HAD A FEW BIRDS CAGED (C. COCOTHRAUSTES, THEAS PANIVUS & IXOS AMARUROS) + SET UP A BIRD NET (AME) OF THIN BROKEN SILK THREAD (6' X 24') IN THE BAMBOO GROVE BEHIND HIS HOUSE + CAUGHT AN INTERESTING ASSORTMENT OF BIRDS WHICH HE GAVE TO ME. THE NET IS STRUNG WITH TWO 3 OR 4 LENGTH-WISE HEAVY CORDS STRETCHED TIGHT & THE NET BLOWING OR SAGGING FROM THEM. THIS FORMS A LONG POCKET THE LENGTH OF THE NET IN WHICH THE BIRDS HITTING THE NET BECOME ENTANGLED. IF THE NET WERE STRETCHED TIGHT FROM TOP TO BOTTOM THE BIRDS WOULD JUST HIT THE MESH & BOUNCE OFF. HIROSHI SET OUT A CAGED BURBUNAS A DECOY + SET UP A BUNCH OF LEGUSTRUM SP? BERRIES NEAR THE NET BUT I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THESE TWO THINGS HELPED DRAW THE TOID OR NOT. - Z-25 IXOS AMARUROS # NETTED BY HIROSHI NAGAMI.
