Hunting birds has a long history and is of important cultural importance for many modern countries in the Central Asian region, so the study of hunting objects will allow examining this process in detail and preserving the cultural legacy of modern countries. 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. This study will be useful for ethnographers investigating the culture and way of life of nomadic peoples to deepen their knowledge.
