Eco Porn: Bird-Brained, My Ass!
This is not another fish story. It's a bird story, a video rather of a brainy bird using a piece of bread to invite a fish to dinner -- as the main course. A miracle of loaves and fishes! Not really, just evolution being awesome again. When it comes to tool-use in birds, the artful raven or ingenious Egyptian vulture usually spring to mind. Parrots and woodpecker finches also impress with their implements. But this week, the limelight belongs to the green heron.
So let's give a hand to this patient piscivore for not settling on a meal of soggy bread. Way to think big, little bird.
