  • They must not be tapped by the big bird of prey.
  • If they are tapped, they become a fowler.
  • At the spot where they are tapped, they put the ball between their feet and become additional, stationary tickers.
  • The winner is the last player who is not tapped. This one can become the new bird of prey in the next game.
