This is one smart bird

#1 Postby chadtm80 » Wed Jun 30, 2004 8:32 am

This is a post from a bud of min over on a fishing forum I visit


After my lovely bride and daughter came home from a local pond with a crazy story about a bird who fishes, I had to go check it out. The rascal really fishes. When you give him some bread, he walks out onto a rock, and tosses in the "bait" to lure in a fish. When a bream eats the bread, he scoops him up and has dinner.

Now that is very neat.. Not only is that tool use, but it shows it took a lot of independent thought and reasoning capabilities to figure out how to use the bread as bait.
Anyways I found it neat and thought I would share

I wonder if the bird gets tired of having fish for dinner every night though lol.. Next you'll see him in the grocery store looking for either ketchup or tartar sauce lol

No need for either. Just slice it raw, put it on some vinegared rice, and serve it with a bowl of soy sauce and wasabi. :)
