  • Starting --> Training --> Selling
  • "Legitimizing" the hustle
  • The renewable resource
  • Unloading the trapped birds
  • Transitioning the trapped birds into homers?
  • The cage setup (Tomahawk cage)
  • Multiple compartments within the cage
  • Food, Water, Shade
  • Reasons you aren't catching any birds!
  • Food options? Which is best?
