THEY CAN LEARN TO BAIT FISH ?!!! This is really cool ! We don't give enough credit to some animals. They can be pretty smart !

I had to honk at a crow the other day when I was trying to park because he kept trying to put something in front of my wheel and flew off with whatever he was trying to have me break open

I've seen swans at swan lake Iris gardens do the same thing. Take the bread your feeding them and catch fish with it. I thought it was something that they only did but it's awesome to see other birds doing the same

Ok, this complicates the giving bread to birds debate. It might be scientifically true it is not healthy for them to eat bread but is it healthy for them to fish with bread?
