The purpose of the study is to examine what equipment the nomads used for hunting birds and consider the importance of this kind of activity in society. In the course of the study, a number of methods of theoretical cognition were used. As a result of the study, the following conclusions were made: it was determined that hunting birds was not only an element of life, but also influenced the worldview and culture of nomadic peoples. The main element of the equipment was the tomaga, which was a leather cap that was put on the bird’s head and had five types. The boo is equipment for keeping the bird at a distance and was mainly used for training, and the variety depended on its length.
