Birds were an important, but little understood, part of the Aleut economy. Birds provided a tiny proportion of the food compared to sea mammals and fish, but their skins, feathers, and bones provided raw materials for clothing, tools, and religious purposes. This paper uses ethnohistorical, linguistic, and archaeological evidence to identify the specialized techniques and describe the tools used for hunting birds. McCartney’s procurement system concept is used to organize the data and place bird hunting into a broader context. Men, women, and children hunted birds on land and sea, in fair weather and foul. Understanding the techniques and weapons used for bird hunting are only the first step to a more complete appreciation of the role of birds in Aleut culture.

萨达（Saĝdaĝ）—捉鸟

鸟类是Aleut经济的重要组成部分，但鲜为人知。与海洋哺乳动物和鱼类相比，鸟类提供的食物比例很小，但是鸟类的皮肤，羽毛和骨头为衣服，工具和宗教目的提供了原材料。本文使用民族历史学，语言学和考古学证据来识别专门技术并描述用于狩猎鸟类的工具。麦卡特尼（McCartney）的采购系统概念用于组织数据并将狩猎鸟类置于更广阔的环境中。在晴朗的天气和犯规的情况下，男人，女人和儿童在陆地和海上狩猎鸟类。了解鸟类狩猎所使用的技术和武器只是迈向全面了解鸟类在Aleut文化中的作用的第一步。
