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 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!

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 “When He decrees a matter, He only says to it: “Be! - and it is.” (Qur’an 2:117) God is the only One Who has the power of true creation out of nothing. When He wants something to exist, He simply says, "Be!" and it becomes immediately just as He wants it to be, without the need for causes and means. 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)

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. 🤙🏼

As Garças são aves muito espertas. Com muita paciência conseguem pescar, e são inteligentes para esperarem o peixe do tamanho adequado ao seu bico.

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

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.

Incredible. Wouldn't believe it if it wasn't recorded.

Was hold prospecting San Gabriel east fork and had recently rain, flooding, raised water level of river. Water running fast and mocha coffee colored. No visibility. I heard down and see a grey heron intently watching a fast narrow spot. Intrigued I sat watching him for about 10 minutes or so when suddenly is head shot downward and snaps up a fish. He came up so quickly his feet slipped on the wet rock and the fish flew out his mouth and splash he went into the drink He came up so mad flapping his wings, jumping up and down screaming or squeaking that you could understand what he was saying. The time spent watching this well picked spot. Muddy water, probably just saw a glimmer flashing by. Then to pull it off and to fail so epically. Swear the fish flying out looked like slow motion. "F***,F**"*Mother F***** Ahh Sh"*" as he's jumping up flaying his wings. It was hilarious.

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.

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.

Then he saw people feeding the fish bread and the bird went over and grabbed a piece of bread but instead of eating the bread it did what this bird done and used the bread to catch a fish. He angled those fish. That is just brilliant.

I wonder how often this has happened with birds. I also wonder when the exact moment was for the heron when it first thought (in bird language), "Wait a second. I can use this bread that people keep tossing around as bait." I'd love to know exactly what's going on inside its mind.
