A bird snare is a type of trap used in the Hunter skill. The bird snaring technique is used to catch several birds. With the required Hunter level, the player may set up a bird snare and wait for a bird to approach the trap.

If the prey is successfully caught, the snare will trap the bird, and the player will have the option to "check" the trap. If not successful, the trap will still snap, and the player will have to reset it. A bird snare will not catch birds if the user is standing directly on the bird snare.

Smoking a trap will increase the catch rate by +2%.^[1] Due to the low increase of the catch rate, most players believe that smoking traps doesn't justify the extra actions it takes.

Bird snares may be bought from Aleck's Hunter Emporium in Yanille, the Nardah Hunter Shop in Nardah, or Imia's Supplies in the Hunter Guild. One can also be obtained for free by searching the south-western crate in Hugor's house at Land's End (multiple snares can be obtained by dropping the snare and searching again).

Bird snares are also obtainable from a Hunter kit, the only way native to the Fremennik region to acquire one and necessary to complete the Fremennik Diary.

The following Hunter creatures may be caught using the bird snaring technique.

	Creature		Exp.	Location
1		Crimson swift	34	Feldip Hunter area, Tlati Rainforest, Isle of Souls, Kebos Swamp, Dognose Island and Ruins of Ullek
5		Golden warbler	47	Uzer Hunter area
9		Copper longtail	61.2	Piscatoris Hunter area, Isle of Souls, Kourend Woodland, Aldarin, Auburnvale and Angler's Retreat

19		Tropical wagtail	95	Feldip Hunter area, The Great Conch, Tlati Rainforest, Shimmering Atoll, Minotaurs' Rest and Isle of Serpents

Bird snaring can be done with multiple traps at once, with the maximum amount of traps depending on the player's Hunter level.
