Birds were also a part of the natives diet. They were easier to hunt than caribou or moose. Having to worry about going after a herd or getting between a cow and calf moose was also out of the question which would make it less risky. They usually didn't have to go very far either,before they came across a bird of some sort.
They people hunted grouse, tree hens, ptarmigans. Waterfowl such as geese and ducks were commonly hunted. The people ate a lot of foul when the big game was scarce.
