Black-Crowned Night Heron (Auku'u) Fishing for Dinner

Watch a black-crowned night heron catch fish with bread cubes he picks up from the lawn and tosses into a pond in Hawaii. The bird is known as Auku'u in the Hawaiian language. He is also known locally as "Hank the Heron".

the bait tactics,the "look ma no hands element" the perseverance and patience....what an amazing bird species with a heightened intelligence

[@gang208]

I wonder if they learned this by watching people feeding the fish. Very smart.

[@cju4300]

I'm delighted to find that herons are also very smart.

[@richardsandoval2899]

Absolutely brilliant I saw this bird on the back of a quarter attached to the Rhode Island .

[@Birdwow63]

[@charlesblubaugh4645]

Wow! One of the more intelligent birds we have. Uses bate to bate it's fish! It's got a good thing going there. Great video! Thanks for sharing!

[@ginielvillacote2372]

Had seen this guy on the bbc channel. What a great bird.

[@socialglitch2663]

Wow, how clever!

Hello. I’m currently working on a TV program for Japan. I was wondering if we would be able to get the permission to use the video (assuming that you have the copyright) of the bird using the bait to catch fish to explain that this type of bird is very smart. Please let me know!

The expression of someone "having a bird's brain" may be refuted by this.

[@malabhatia3182]

[@cosmospaceofamerica6945]

Hi! I'm checking back with you again. Please let me know what you think about using this video for the TV program for Japan!

[@ultimatemexicano3535]

Amazing capture! So even the poor desperate and huge fish caught as 2:25 was swallowed down alive?! I wonder if it had any slim chance of escaping the birds hungry stomach if eaten in that condition or can the bird really digest it bones and all??

[@alienatedaxis97doh44]

Thanks

[@naturerainbowbook5170]

just wow

[@Auhana50]

Hank is smart

[@tolykozin1]

OMG this is unbelievable, there is a whole nother intelligence out there that we are not even aware of

[@ansarkidanhi6466]

Her idea is good

[@ultimatemexicano3535]

Wow fascinating capture! Wouldn’t it be great to grab the bird’s neck around 3:08 and save that colorful/big fish from sliding all the way down?? Does the unlucky prey stand any chance itself to turn around and escape (or even damage? Hopefully not.) the heron’s elastic throat/stomach if eaten in that condition as well!?

[@cosmospaceofamerica6945]

Hi I'm following up again about this footage. Please let me know!

[@jobayersohel3375]

Smart hunter. ....

[@22espec]

I wonder if they teach the technique to their young or they know since birth

[@m-aregl7393]

"Hank" is now dead. He became locally famous in 2008 (TV report). For more information, you can read: www.hdouglaspratt.com/journal_articles/2011_pratt_etal.pdf
