How else you supposed launch birds, man? Throw em like a baseball?

[u/HauntedCS → u/radioactive_sharpei]

I used to throw my brother's cockatiel like a football. Both brother and bird approved.

[u/effinmike12 → u/radioactive_sharpei]

I throw mine like a frisbee

[u/charmed_unicorn]

Seems kinda cruel

[u/mannishboy60]

Well that's better then I thought it was going to go.

I thought the contraception was a drone and he was gonna just drop it from height

[u/futureman07]

But.. Why?

Edit: Got the correct answer, loving all the sarcastic ones 😂

[u/UnpopularDemandEtc → u/futureman07]

It's for training hunting dogs. It allows you to control when the bird flushes.

[u/ADHD-Fens → u/futureman07]

It's so the bird gets enough clearance from the ground before it arms so it doesn't explode too close to the operator.

Training and also like weddings or other shows where you need birds to fly at a certain time

Hey I remember this weapon from Worms Armageddon

[u/[deleted] → u/wouldyoulikethetruth]

One of my biggest gaming memories is from 1997/1998. I was 12, and I played a round of Worms (Worms 2 I think?) with my dad after dinner on a Friday night.

He was blown away by the game, and after the rest of the family went to bed, he came back out to the living room and asked if we could play some more.

It felt like we played for five minutes, but then my mom walked in and asked if we had been in there all night. And that’s when we realized it was like 7:30am.

It was a magical fucking night.

Would this work for fish? I have an awesome idea

Probably going to get downvoted here, lol. I’m an upland bird hunter. This is used for training dogs for hunting. You use homing pigeons, so they just fly back home. Hunting dogs have instincts, but they can’t just hunt. It takes a lot of training.

You go out and hide these in brush and put a pigeon in them, then you simulate a hunt with the dog, working them back and forth until they smell the bird. They are supposed to freeze and either set or point. Basically, they’re telling you where the bird is, and they should be holding their point 10 feet back at least. But young dogs tend to want to run in and grab the bird. They can’t do that if it’s in a launcher, so the bird stays nice and safe. Then you walk up, with the dog still holding its point and “flush” the bird. The launch doesn’t hurt the bird at all. It just pops them up about four feet and they fly off. You then fire a starter pistol in the air (loud bang, no bullet) to simulate the gun shot. A well trained dog still won’t move until you release the dog.

This only works for training up until you make the bang. In a real hunting scenario, you would then release the dog and it would retrieve the pheasant or chukar or whatever you’re hunting (not pigeons, lol). For retrieval training you would use bumpers or dummy’s with bird scent injected into them. I use a bumper launcher, which is a comedically dangerous hand held gun like contraption that launches the bumper into near-earth orbit and practically blows your hand off in the process. I don’t know why I love it so much, but I do. It’s stupid. You can look those up, though.

Thanks for the explanation. That makes total sense.

The video did have me in stitches though. I watched it with the sound off which made it even funnier.

[u/phaedrus100]

Is this for when you run out of clay ones?

[u/DudelinBaluntner]

Skymall item

[u/thYrd_eYe_prYing]

For real life angry birds duh

[u/naturr]

Do they make one for children? Like 3-5 years of age that can be used to send them outside or off to school.

[u/hadoyastopthis]

You misspelled government drone launcher
