ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for crushing a bird's head includes a first member and a second member that are pivotally attached and which are adapted to pivot about an axis. An inner arcuate recessed area is provided on an interior side of each member intermediate a second end and a first end. The arcuate recessed area is adapted to receive a bird's head with a bill or beak of the bird extending beyond the arcuate area. A ridge or protrusion protrudes from at least one member so that it initially makes contact with the bird's head when the first and second members are urged together. This concentrates the force that is applied to the head and also prevents the bird from moving out of the apparatus. The members are then urged together and the bird's head is crushed thereby instantly killing the bird.
