The act or practice of applying birdlime to catch birds; bird-trapping using sticky substances.
Gerund form of 'birdlime' (bird + lime + -ing). The '-ing' form transforms the noun into an action or process, emerging from the verb use of 'birdlime' in hunting contexts.
Birdliming as a profession involved incredible skill—knowing which branches birds preferred, timing application for temperature and humidity, even understanding bird behavior—it was practical ornithology before the science existed.
