Bien sabía el muchacho que si hacía novillos a la misa de los domingos, no iría al teatro por la tarde, y que si no sacaba buenas notas en Junio, no había dinero para el bolsillo, ni toros, ni excursiones por el campo con Estupiñá (luego hablaré de este tipo) para cazar pájaros con red o liga, ni los demás divertimientos con que se recompensaba su aplicación.

The boy knew full well that, if he did not attend the Sunday mass, he would not go to the theater in the afternoon, and that if he did not get good grades in June, there was no pocket money, no bulls, no field trips with Estupiñá (I shall talk about this guy later) to catch birds with a net or slingshot, nor the other amusements which rewarded his efforts.

Discussion

the idea of gluing the birds is horrible

but lime is either a citrus or 'whitewash' (chaux) so I don´t think it is used to catch birds. Slingshot , yes

Par ailleurs mon orthographe de "catch" était farfelue.

? C'était ma première idée, d'autant plus que "liga" peut être : rubber band/ elastic band. Mais c'est aussi "birdlime"
RAE: f. Materia pegajosa usada para cazar pájaros, que se obtiene generalmente del muérdago o del acebo.
