Camouflage is used in specific bird hunting, basically migratory waterfowl like ducks & geese. These birds fly long distances and also too high to be able to take them with a shotgun unless you conceal yourself and lure them down near you, usually with decoy birds.

They also don’t have to come down to where you are and will not come within shooting range if anything looks like a threat to them. That’s the hardest part of waterfowl hunting, popping out of concealment, spotting aiming and taking a bird before it realizes somethings not right here and flies off.

Birds have crazy good eyesight and will look over the area for any threats before flying down, where they’re in range.
