In the Guangxi province of China, fisherman use trained cormorants to help them catch fish from the Li river. A noose tied around the birds’ necks to stop them swallowing any fish they may catch.

The bird are food. Flamingo own habitat.
Believe me, these birds are treated family. They are loved, revered. I bet you couldn't buy one from them.
This is less “fishing with birds” and more “how to interrupt the circle of life and profit from it”
Very good catching fish using this kind of birds,.
I want a trained cormorant. Where can i get?
"fish seeking missiles"
Wait a min, these birds can both fly and swim?!
This is very big idea
Seems there are many people ready to be prisoned, fed and took care of, for having their nature habits controlled by their prisoner! 🤦🏻♂️
What cruelty is this .Where is PETA? it's a sheer violation of Animal Rights .

I came here from an episode of Good Mythical Morning. Specifically season 1 episode 4 titled “Chinese Hornets for Breakfast.”

In the West, fisherman used the cormorant to dive underwater to catch fish for them

I once in a while return for the fish seeking missles :D, love them 😉
I swear to god everything Asian is good at Math
They are totally slaves. Except for the fact they receive better food, nutrition, shelter, and social interaction than all other birds. Also, they are not doomed to die a slow death which is common for 90 percent of animals
They had this on Ray Mears the other week. Fascinating how the birds and the humans have this relationship with each other and work together to get the fish. Trust the Beeb to call the birds "slaves!". Might have known!.

It is a traditional fishing method that is also handed down in Japan.
