I was trying to find pictures of the different types of snaring i've used on the google but couldn't find them, all the snaring types i have used i learnt from this book download
no you can snare birds too just different technique and slightly illegal here in UK i'm sure you could grab pigeons if you are not as big and slow as me
the maori used to catch woodpigeons [and other birds] by different methods of trapping- apperantly they did not use bow and arrow or slings... - one of them was a wooden through filled with bait and snares all around; but that would be not very practical on a hiking trip [carrying a wooden trough in your backpack willlead to space problems ] .....
I used to favour capital T shaped pegs with 2 snare nooses hanging from the end of the arms of the T shapes and bait scattered around below them, set them before dusk and check them at dawn, i'd ideally prefer to use twitch up snares but they are heavily frowned upon legally, if it was a real survival situation i wouldn't think twice about using them
