Bird using bread to catch fish

Heron filmed in Grenada, Caribbean. It has learned to fish using bread. Now other species of egrets and herons are watching it and learning. They watch the bread and catch fish, and it is just a matter of time until they too will cast and adjust the bread. At one stage, there were 6 species watching. This could spread throughout the Caribbean. See also pictures of Grenada and wildlife at http://www.natureandpictures.com/

And the question is - did the bird say "thanks for the bait"?

For a bird to learn this and know to use bread,which isn't a naturally acquired food in the wild and use it as bait, means that it probably isnt an inborn instinct but aquired through trial and error. It should give new meaning to the term "bird brain".
