bird hunt

Seeking winged quarry

A bird hunt is an outing to pursue and kill wild birds, typically game species like pheasants, quail, ducks, or grouse.

The activity combines marksmanship with fieldwork—often involving trained dogs to flush or retrieve birds: We're going on a bird hunt this weekend.

As a verb phrase, to bird hunt is to engage in this activity.
