Since the cliffs are very precipitous and the birds are easily frightened, even the captain's son didn't learn the technique of catching them in a short time. It's interesting to note that when local fishermen are asked whether they've ever eaten the birds they usually answer in the same way: "I know that others have, but I've never tried it before."
由岩壁的陡峭，以及鳥類容易受驚嚇的特性來判斷，小孩捉鳥的技術絕非一蹴可幾的「天賦」；另一個值得玩味的現象是，當漁民被問及是否曾經捉過鳥來吃，答案幾乎都是一樣的：「別人有啦，但是我沒吃過。」
