A fantastic display of "learned behavior". Birds are not dumb ;)

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.

Cory,

 

First, the word is behavioUr. That sequence is a "set-up". Instinctively, they use a leaf.

 

Still, it's the coolest thing I've seen in a while.

 

Thanks Newt, it'll keep the Brits in bait for years.

Next to a religious person, my next pet hate is a "grammar Nazi" :P

I have witnessed this myself in Cuba, a Snowy and a Great White Egret used to hang around the hotel water feature where visitors fed bread to three captive Flamingoes. The Egrets used bread to lure fish in the pool to the surface where they then snatched the fish. A little greeen Heron used to also hang around the floating bread snatching fish but had not picked up on the fishing technique.

After a certain age, if you don't wake up aching in every joint, you are probably dead.
