I remember my neighbor using glue made from mistletoe berries to catch small colorful birds (80s eastern europe). I don't recall the exact process, but I think it involved cooking the berries and thickening of the glue. Then coating some thin branches and placing them near the already captured birds. Other birds would land on the treated branch and remain glued to it until freed.
