Bird hunting was done by younger boys with the bow and arrow. If a boy hunted alone, he kept all of his game. If two boys hunted together, each was entitled to the game of the other. If there were more than two, the one who picked up the game kept it. Birds such as mourning doves, bob-o-links, blackbirds and other smaller songbirds were hunted. Meadow larks were not usually hunted, since there were some fears of eating them.
