What is rocket netting?

Rocket netting is a method used by scientists and researchers to capture birds and other small animals in a safe and non-invasive way. It involves the use of a specially designed net that is launched into the air by a rocket or compressed gas gun. The net is attached to a string or rope that is controlled by a remote system, allowing the researchers to capture the animal without causing harm.

Rocket netting is particularly effective when studying bird migration patterns or when monitoring endangered species. It allows researchers to collect data on the animals without subjecting them to physical stress or harm.

The method has been used successfully in various countries around the world, and has contributed significantly to our understanding of animal behavior and conservation. However, it should only be used by trained and experienced professionals, as improper use can cause injury to both the animal and the personnel involved.
