@@lordgarion514 Also fishes… while swimming I found a fish who had another one in his mouth but it was too big for him so both were sinking. I tried to help but I couldn’t move the dead fish in the mouth of the bigger.
What's more interesting is that the heron pulls the bait away from the fish which are too big for the heron to eat, and saves it for the smaller fish 👍
This is more interesting than you know, very few animals are aware of their size in relation to other animals, this is considered a very special marker of intelligence.
How many millions of years did it take to learn such a simple thing? To me this is an example of the peak of this DNA…these birds will never get smarter than they already are
Isn't this incredible? Top marks to whoever saw this and filmed it. There are so many things to consider here about what the Green Heron is doing. The man-made concrete and metal structure it is using to get the correct height and angle at the water's edge. The harvesting of the bread from wherever it got it. Inserting bait at a distance where it can still be retrieved. Not losing its bait to fish which are too big to catch.The size of prey it can effectively deal with. This clever bird has found a real niche.
The discipline involved for the bird to realize that he can get potentially more food by sacrificing some bread makes this all the more impressive for me. For it to not eat the bread immediately but save it for a high risk high reward situation shows how complex it's thought process is.
There's a protected species; Hispanicus Migranticus that sacrifices (quits) its job in Central and South America because it realizes it can get more income (welfare) and a free cell phone in the US with no requirement to do any work, as long as it votes Democrat.
As smart as we're learning crows are, this little heron seems to at match them in complexity. An exceptional individual, or are all green herons this smart? Somebody fund some more research on this question!
@@LykeArgyIf this is a recently acquired skill it's probably not genetic. It's learned behavior from observing humans. However, it can be passed on to its progeny and may eventually become instinctual in this species.
@@colorbugoriginals4457 Geese are also extremely intelligent, chicken too. I wouldn't have believed it before, but I know them for many years now. Awesome birds.
Man, nature is just so damn cool! Imagine, a heron watches some people throw bread in the koi pond, and realizes the implications of what it could do with a piece of its own.

Go to a shallow portion of the river that still gets decent sized fish. Join your hands forming a rough circle with your arms. Wait. Fish will eventually get used to your presence, as long as you don't move much. When one swims over your hands, heave up and to the shore. I have legitimately caught fish and one time an eel this way. It works, if you're hungry enough to have patience. Lol No gear or bread required. 😉
If you ever encounter a pheasant you will see where the term "bird brain" come from but on a side note, all ancestrally post-cretacoeus birds are quite smarter than we think.
This Heron is smart asf as it not only managed to selectively pick the appropriately sized fish but its managed to caught one that was perfectly camouflaged underwater. Truly incredible.
I love how it waited for the right size fish to come along. And its eyesight! I didn't even see the little fish, even watching several times. I've seen birds do some really smart things. Using bread for bait is now one of them.
I’m this old and still amazed at how animals can be more intelligent that I’ve ever considered. Watching that heron pull the bread out so the bigger fish wouldn’t eat it was mind blowing.
Animals are much more intelligent than most people realize. They are actually smarter than us in many ways, but some people are close minded and think that they can't speak our language etc they're dumb. We don't think like animals and need to put ourselves in their perspective to understand more about their intelligence. Just putting this out there.
Imagine now that birds will rule the world as people degrade. people used to be smarter, but all thouse comforts and easy life has make use weak and stupid, couse we dont need to think that muc. Now imagine this bird gets it offsprings and it teaches them what it knows and also inherites its genes so they can become smarter and hundread generations or so world has super smart birds, who rule the world, not the way as humans rule but they just know they can do anything.
As an avid free diver and spearfisherman i can tell you fish are a lot smarter than you think as well. Some species are more intelligent than others. Some species also have very different personalities and levels of curiosity.
It is indeed very rare to see animals use tools in such a conscious way. Shows high level of intelligence. Often, while watching them it becomes clear how much we can actually learn from them. All things we've lost along the way due to our disconnect from nature. It's funny to see humans go backwards while animals evolve. Respect.
I've said it once but I'll say it again, we give too little credit to animal intelligence. Not only did he know fish like bread but he was intelligent enough to know how to target which fish he wanted by removing the bread when the bigger fish got close.
@@chusm3itor998 Not really, humans are a compilation of every living organism of Earth's history, culminated from this universe's understanding that it can experience itself.
Theres a reason for that If we give them too much credit they'll start to realize their own intelligence and we'll have a bird army with nuclear weapons before you know it!

Well I know for sure that I taught a night heron this trick in Hawaii. I used to eat lunch at a stream near work and throw bread scraps into the water for the thousands of small tilapia there. A night heron (who are also out in the day), flew from across the stream when he saw the commotion the small fish were making while eating my bread, and landed right near me in about six inches of water. Herons can’t swim but they can wade in shallow water. I threw a piece of bread next to him and he got ready. Even pushed it into a better position. The fish went nuts for the bread and the heron nailed the fish. I did this every day for months and named my bird “Carl”. He’d see me get out of my truck and come flying across the stream to meet me for lunch. Carl would do the same thing this heron is doing. If a bigger fish came along, he’d grab the bread and save it until it left. Then drop it back in for the smaller fish. Smart bird. I counted one time, Carl eating about a dozen little fish in one sitting. “Man, Carl aren’t you full yet?” When I went back to work I’d leave some bread for Carl as bait, he’d grab it and fly across the stream to his nest or whatever. I know for sure that heron’s won’t eat bread because Carl accidentally got a piece of bread in his beak while going for a fish and violently spit it out. You should have seen the look on his face. Like soggy bread was the most disgusting thing he ever had in his mouth. Can’t disagree there, soggy bread will make most people gag. So I know he saved it for bait. Those were good times and it made me wonder how long humans have been doing this with herons? Maybe for thousands of years. Or maybe, herons have always used some kind of floating bait for fish and know that humans have a lot of it and feed the fish. However it started, it is amazing to watch and fun to be a part of it. Peace and aloha to you all. 🤙🏼
I have it on good record that this bird is a mechanical engineer at NASA. Not only does it do calculus. It does engineering calculus as a hobby just to pass the time between fishing expeditions 😎
It’s just amazing to me how smart birds are! He pulled back the bait from the huge fish that he knew he couldn’t catch and throw it back to snag the small ones. Brilliant! 😍😍😍

People are amazed by animal intelligence only because we come out of an age which considered animals not being creatures „with a soul“. Now we know better. However, the superiority of the human brain over other animal brains will only become more appearent as we try to replicate them digitally. The humans are quite spectacular in this universe, other animals probably not so much.
Green herons are one of the few species of bird known to use tools. In particular, they commonly use bread crusts, insects, or other items as bait. The bait is dropped onto the surface of a body of water in order to lure fish. When a fish takes the bait, the green heron will then grab and eat the fish. When green herons catch large frogs, they will drown them before swallowing them whole.

If I recall, green herons are nicknamed "fishing herons" because they do this. No one knows how they learned it or anything, but you can catch them doing it in the wild quite often. Especially nature parks in Florida, you can catch them doing this in any open enclosure with a stocked pond.

The level of calculation here is amazing. I tried a similar experiment some years ago based on a hypothetical bush survival scenario. I settled at the edge of a marshy area where there were frogs that darted away at my approach. I broke off tiny twigs and started tossing them in the water at an arms' reach distance. It's the tiny ripple when it lands on the surface that triggers their impulse to investigate. It didn't take me long to nab a couple of big juicy bullfrogs that a starving person would find some way to consume. That success felt like useful bushcraft knowledge. But this little feathered fisherman is next level - you can't even see the little minnow he was hunting until it was in his beak!
Humans evolved to be like birds. Birds talk, sing, dance, make art, build structures and use tools, like sewing two leaves together using their beak as a needle and spider web as thread!
that is one smart bird, realising that it can trade a little piece of bread for a nice juicy fish and ensures that no fish that are too big takes it. That is some high level problem solving

Isn't this incredible? Top marks to whoever saw this and filmed it. There are so many things to consider here about what the Green Heron is doing. The man-made concrete and metal structure it is using to get the correct height and angle at the water's edge. The harvesting of the bread from wherever it got it. Inserting bait at a distance where it can still be retrieved. Not losing its bait to fish which are too big to catch.The size of prey it can effectively deal with. This clever bird has found a real niche.

How do you know birds didn't teach humans how to catch fish? You never thought of that now did ya?

"No no no"!
Only Legends will understand that
The discipline involved for the bird to realize that he can get potentially more food by sacrificing some bread makes this all the more impressive for me.
For it to not eat the bread immediately but save it for a high risk high reward situation shows how complex it's thought process is.
are you a day trader?
And the fact he took it back out for the bigger fish and to use on a more suitable size for him to eat.
heron's don't eat bread, so not much of a sacrifice =P
There's a protected species; Hispanicus Migranticus that sacrifices (quits) its job in Central and South America because it realizes it can get more income (welfare) and a free cell phone in the US with no requirement to do any work, as long as it votes Democrat.

I’m this old and still amazed at how animals can be more intelligent that I’ve ever considered. Watching that heron pull the bread out so the bigger fish wouldn’t eat it was mind blowing.
Wish I could discover how that funky little bird brain works. Coming up with a technique like that requires such complex thinking
Animals are much more intelligent than most people realize. They are actually smarter than us in many ways, but some people are close minded and think that they can't speak our language etc they're dumb. We don't think like animals and need to put ourselves in their perspective to understand more about their intelligence. Just putting this out there.
If you think this is impressive, you should watch the video of a fish driving a car…
Imagine now that birds will rule the world as people degrade. people used to be smarter, but all thouse comforts and easy life has make use weak and stupid, couse we dont need to think that muc. Now imagine this bird gets it offsprings and it teaches them what it knows and also inherites its genes so they can become smarter and hundread generations or so world has super smart birds, who rule the world, not the way as humans rule but they just know they can do anything.
As an avid free diver and spearfisherman i can tell you fish are a lot smarter than you think as well. Some species are more intelligent than others. Some species also have very different personalities and levels of curiosity.
It is indeed very rare to see animals use tools in such a conscious way. Shows high level of intelligence. Often, while watching them it becomes clear how much we can actually learn from them. All things we've lost along the way due to our disconnect from nature. It's funny to see humans go backwards while animals evolve. Respect.
Pretty sure humans know how to fish with bait😂
The most stupid guy thinking he's smarter that the general human race here.
Okay, what exactly did you learn from this? Besides the fact that birds have figured out bait as a fishing strategy.
I've said it once but I'll say it again, we give too little credit to animal intelligence. Not only did he know fish like bread but he was intelligent enough to know how to target which fish he wanted by removing the bread when the bigger fish got close.

Well I know for sure that I taught a night heron this trick in Hawaii.
I used to eat lunch at a stream near work and throw bread scraps into the water for the thousands of small tilapia there. A night heron (who are also out in the day), flew from across the stream when he saw the commotion the small fish were making while eating my bread, and landed right near me in about six inches of water. Herons can’t swim but they can wade in shallow water. I threw a piece of bread next to him and he got ready. Even pushed it into a better position. The fish went nuts for the bread and the heron nailed the fish.
I did this every day for months and named my bird “Carl”.
He’d see me get out of my truck and come flying across the stream to meet me for lunch.
Carl would do the same thing this heron is doing. If a bigger fish came along, he’d grab the bread and save it until it left. Then drop it back in for the smaller fish. Smart bird. I counted one time, Carl eating about a dozen little fish in one sitting. “Man, Carl aren’t you full yet?”
When I went back to work I’d leave some bread for Carl as bait, he’d grab it and fly across the stream to his nest or whatever.
I know for sure that heron’s won’t eat bread because Carl accidentally got a piece of bread in his beak while going for a fish and violently spit it out.
You should have seen the look on his face. Like soggy bread was the most disgusting thing he ever had in his mouth. Can’t disagree there, soggy bread will make most people gag. So I know he saved it for bait.
Those were good times and it made me wonder how long humans have been doing this with herons? Maybe for thousands of years.
Or maybe, herons have always used some kind of floating bait for fish and know that humans have a lot of it and feed the fish.
However it started, it is amazing to watch and fun to be a part of it.
Peace and aloha to you all. 🤙🏼

Green herons are one of the few species of bird known to use tools. In particular, they commonly use bread crusts, insects, or other items as bait. The bait is dropped onto the surface of a body of water in order to lure fish. When a fish takes the bait, the green heron will then grab and eat the fish.

Six major names and attributes of God as the Creator are stated in the Qur’an. Each of which provides a different aspect and insight into the divine power of creation and the composite process of creation, making it clear that every detail of creation was perfectly planned and performed directly by God, leaving nothing to chance or to someone or something else. These six divine names and attributes are:
1-Al-Mubdi’ (the Beginner) - The One Who initially and originally creates out of nothing, just by His Will - with a single command: “Be!” - without the use of pre-existing matter.
2-Al-Khaliq (the Creator, the Planner) - The One Who determines and creates according to proper and accurate measures and proportions. God says,
“He has created everything and designed it in a perfect measure.”
(Qur’an 25:2)
3-Al-Bari’ (the Originator, the Inventor) - The One Who originates and materializes creation without a prior model.
4- Al-Musawwir (the Fashioner, the Shaper, the Designer) - The One Who fashions, Who gives everything its distinctive form and shape according to its assigned purpose.
5-Al-Fatir (the Bringer into existence) - The Creator of the universe and everything in it, giving every living thing its particular character, objective, and meaning.
6-Al-Badi` (The Incomparable, the Originator) - The One Who creates things out of nothing without the help of an instrument, or matter, or time, or place. He creates all His creatures bursting with variety and uniqueness, so one creature is not perfectly similar to another. This infinite variety in God’s creation is a physical manifestation of God's absolute creative power.
“He (God) is the One Who perfected everything He created, and started the creation of the human from clay.”
(Qur’an 32:7)

Right at the beginning you can see a larger piece of bread on the pavement (bottom right corner).
I think the heron tore off a small piece so he could have more attempts, and maybe attract smaller fish. So much interesting stuff to ponder on in a short 1min video
I like how he keeps the bait when certain fish are toooo big! Amazing content
Bruh it's common sense. Why would he/she want a fish that is literally bigger than his/her entire body. How dumb did you think animals/birds are before you watched this video.
Yes, triple intelligence !!! And, with such a Small brains, .... imagine, if he had a Bigger ones ... !!! 🙂
Amen, but maybe we all exist within a field that allows the transfer of knowledge - its not just instinctual@@bustjanzupan1074
Amazing content?
Precisely. Birds, especially Herons, have always done this. This isn't _"one smart bird"_ - it's regular heron behaviour - they're all smart enough to do this.
Very cool and such a smart angler. Watching the thought process of this bird is fascinating.
This is fascinating. He's sizing which fish he want's to catch. That shows a level of intelligence.
This is forward thinking, showing how smart birds actually are, crows are another bird that use this exact same strategy…. Rather than eating the bread they are aware it can be used to obtain a better meal with patience and skill….. clever birds 👍👍👍🐤🐤🐤😎

There's a video of a seagull in Scotland that waits outside a shop until customers leave, then he casually strolls in and shoplifts a packet of his favourite crisps.
Impressive intelligence! I hear that if a Raven cannot break open a carcass it will imitate the sounds of foxes or wolves so the canine will come and do the work for it. Thank you for sharing this video!
There are instances of birds dropping acorns or in-shell nuts on a road, waiting for a car to drive over and crush the shell, and then retrieving the nut.
Someone ever calls you a bird brain, walk with pride 😁
Smart enough to pick it away from the big fish until the right size comes along
The fact that his uncle owns a bakery is more amazing.
He used a bait to catch a fish, but he still had his bait after successfully catching one.
Now that's very impressive.💯
Damn 100 likes,Thanks!

Amazing birds. I have a pair of cardinals that come daily to the bird feeder. I watch the male pick up sunflower seeds an not just give to his mate but crack an give her the seed! Sweetest thing ever. Great video. Houston here. Hey y’all.
Sweetest thought ever… in fact, though, the female told the male to do so 🤣
It's so wonderfull when it takes back the bait when arriving the big fish because is not possible to catch, it's increadible to see
This was damn awesome ,I mean I thought why it's again picking it back when fat fishes are around But what a lesson this bird gave with respect to patience, focus, key agenda, goal and best use of limited resources ...
Na na I need only my type my size ... 👍👍👍
Smarter than some people I know
pre-cum sentients go brrrrrrr
I've been all video thinking "how the hell is him going to eat a fish of that size?", at last I see the bird is even more intelligent
So extremely smart.

The old tried and true "Bait and snatch". Never fails.

I had no idea that they were this intelligent. I already liked herons but they're easily my favorite birds now.
You should see what crows are capable of, corvid bird species are some of the most intelligent birds in earth.

Wow! What a clever birdie! I love that it retrieves the bait when fish too large come near it.
He was really like: "nah, yall too big" lol crazy intelligent.
Big fish: Oh hey, bread.
Heron: No, this isn’t for you.
Big fish: Understandable, have a nice day.
The fact that 36 people found thus unoriginal dribble to be funny makes me pine for the world.
Back when fish got some manners, looks at what's happening today.. 🙄
What proves this lil cutie is even more smart than it appears is that they pull the bread back if the only fish near are big ones.
Gotta love nature X3.
I really do wish animals could talk so we could learn so much more about them.
This Herron and whoever recorded this deserve a gold medal
This bird must have watched a lot of ppl go fishing and use different type of baits to catch them. He knows exactly when and where to place the bait and know exactly what size fish he needs to draw in.
how amazing, but please I have a question: who taught the heron to catch fish with this technique??!!
and who taught him to remove the bait from fish that are too big to eat???!!!!

Who else thought he legit was going to catch one of the big goldfish?
✋
I knew that the large goldfish were too big for him but was still surprised when he took the bread out when the large goldfish came near. And then he waited for a smaller fish. Clearly instinct played a role here as well as learned experience.
Was more worried that one of the big fish would pull him in.
@@janicesullivan8942 The heron is much too quick and also the fish are unlikely to jump out of the water to try and catch the heron. At least I have never heard of that happening.

I used to watch green herons working pools of water under the 126 bridge over the Congaree in Columbia, SC. Beautiful birds, far more interesting to watch hunt than white egrets or blue herons. Very mobile, very intelligent.
🤣🤣🤣🤣💀I like how he's like "nah too Big, " and targeted the smaller fish
That is a phenomenal display of animal intelligence! It even pulled back the bread from the multiple fish that were to large to be eaten. What I'm wondering is why that bread didn't get all soggy and fall lpart
im sure it was old discarded bread prolly a bit harder than fresh..not saying it was rock hard but def a lot harder than fresh ,it had more durability
He probably baked a particular type of bread that floats and does not get soggy, probably a recipe that has been passed down for generations
Must be a dried bit of Fazoli's breadstick. Industrial strength hard stale bread.
Lol 😂 & my dumb self ( thinking it was going to try and bait the larger fish ) 😳 because I wanted to see the extraordinary lol 😂 I sure hope that I wasn’t the only person thinking this way 😏
Me too 😅😅
I love the way he takes the bait back when the larger fish approach, and puts it back to go after something he can swallow. Smart.
This heron has mastered the skill of fishing by baiting.

@@stephaniecarrow4898 You're welcome! Enjoy the read! 😀
The level of calculation here is amazing. I tried a similar experiment some years ago based on a hypothetical bush survival scenario. I settled at the edge of a marshy area where there were frogs that darted away at my approach. I broke off tiny twigs and started tossing them in the water at an arms' reach distance. It's the tiny ripple when it lands on the surface that triggers their impulse to investigate. It didn't take me long to nab a couple of big juicy bullfrogs that a starving person would find some way to consume. That success felt like useful bushcraft knowledge. But this little feathered fisherman is next level - you can't even see the little minnow he was hunting until it was in his beak!
Bro that is 1000 IQ move. That bird aint smart, he's a genius.
Humans evolved to be like birds. Birds talk, sing, dance, make art, build structures and use tools, like sewing two leaves together using their beak as a needle and spider web as thread!
What bird sews?

You may have evolved from monkeys but I sure didn't. Darwins theory was discredited YEARS ago. Yet people are still faithful to the lie.
that is one smart bird, realising that it can trade a little piece of bread for a nice juicy fish and ensures that no fish that are too big takes it.
That is some high level problem solving
lol dude's got a good feel for editing and story telling. Nice job timing the catch with the dramatic rise in music. Small details few think about but seem obvious to everyone once someone does it.
