Better put a reply to this tommorow,
what the heck
Fisho dont deliberately try to hook birds and in 99% of cases they wrap the bird in a towel and release as gently as possible, damm hard when something is trying to bite the cra[p outa you. I have bred birds (pheasant, quial, cannieris, budgies, cockatiel, love birds) for a number of years and I believe there is more of a concern with habiatat and polution than the poor old fisho copping another blast from some one with nothing better to do or a plain easy bunch to target.
If like me and you really carwe for birds, look at the whole problem and not just a small section as your time could be better spennt.
