A bird capture net which allows the use of quickly adjusting the height for capture and release is described, which includes height adjustable poles attached to bird netting.

A holder for a medicament administration device can include a base member, a movable member disposed on the base member such that the movable member can move relative to the base member between a first position and a second position, and two or more clamp members. Each clamp member can be coupled to the base member and to the movable member, and can be pivotable between a closed position corresponding with the first position of the movable member and an open position corresponding with the second position of the movable member. When in the closed position the clamp members can engage the head of a subject to restrain the subject against movement relative to the holder.

Bird carriers and methods of restraining birds are disclosed. Each bird carrier may include a torso support, one or more leg clamps, and a head support. The head support may further include a beak receiving passage such that at least a portion of the birds' beaks are exposed. The bird carriers may restrain one or both legs and heads of the birds while supporting their torsos. Restraining the legs and the heads of the birds while supporting their torsos may produce a calming effect such that the birds exhibit significantly reduced struggling in an attempt to free themselves from the carrier.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for locking at least one body part of a living bird in position for recording characteristic vibrational spectra, wherein the apparatus comprises a relief mask for inserting the body part to be locked in position, at least one movable supporting arm provided for locking the body part in position, and a sensor access with a light channel for directing the stimulation light irradiated by a light source onto the locked body part and for collecting the light back-scattered by the locked body part. The present invention further relates to devices and methods for determining the sex of living birds.
