Fishing with birds

[ShadowRaver]

I've seen these birds catch a lot bigger fish, don't underestimate this because of the pip squeaks he's "reeling" in.

I've seen these birds in another documentary. This particular fisherman IS a bit rough, but most I've seen are very respectful of the birds, and as a bird keeper for thirty years, I can tell you, the behaviour of the birds is much like that of a sheepherding dog: they love what they're doing, and are not behaving as they would if they were stressed. If they were being mistreated, trust me, they would quiclky become ill and die. I don't think this is cruelty.

Those birds are trained to do a job for this man their master. They just don't eat the fish or fly away like that. Well the bait shop is going out of business.

Wel the amount of the cached fish is to small to do this.

Why don't they just pick off the strings from each other with their beaks and swim away from this jackass?

Excellent idea!

(In other countries it would call cruelty to animals:)

Man handles the commorants a little bit too roughly. I think we sue him for bird abuse.
