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 at the end was like: Price of doing business -_-
Taxes...
They probably ate that one
It beats having a cat or owl attack in the night. Similar to how we offer protection to dogs
The right bird got its leg latched so he cant pursue
Yeah
These birds still look and sound a lot like dinosaurs... Amazing.
Because they are😉
You've heard a dinosaur before?😃
@@slooob23 Was thinking the same.
@@Number-bj1yn Me too... I guess they must've watched Jurassic Park of course...
@@slooob23 lol I was just about to asked that haha i
Eh they give them enough of the catch to keep the healthy and strong, give them shelter, veterinary treatment, protect them from any natural predators and probably provide them with an increased chance to mate than in the wild considering the benefits of having more trained comorants to employ. There's probably a good amount of affection between fisherman and bird too much the same as with equestrians. That's a better deal than many nations working class humans get.
It's surprising how big the fish are that the cormorants can catch. I expected them to be much smaller, like sardines or smelt.
I laughed so hard at the end when the guy was like 'HA HA HO HO YABBERDABBERDOOO'
Yeah
Appreciate camera man to shoot perfect underwater shots
I should try to train a craw to pick neighbour's flower
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!.
BBC arse holes as usual
"the TV licence payers are in effect... Victims of extortion"
-Even the birds in China are good at math ):
Hahahahahaha funny joke but a little racist but funny
Haha ha ha ha
As an Asian I am laughing my head off 😂
Shah Khan, it’s not racist it’s a compliment and it’s true. Asian are good in math.
😂
Ending is superb😂😂😂😂
Amazing what man and animal can achieve together.

HA HA HO HO EYAAAUGH
He actually said
"Hey, hey, hey, HEY! COME BACK!"
But lmao HA HA HO HO EYAAAURGH
Very creative, eco-friendly and artistic way of fishing. I never thought my Chinese figurine of the fishing Chinese with ducks in his bamboo raft would have a story such this until my brother showed this to me.
They're cormorants, not ducks. They're not even related.
@@alex-chan4715 true.
The birds are slaves though how is that any more eco-friendly then regular fishing?
@@aidanwoodford8195 they aren't slaves lol, they serve exactly the same as a hunting dog. Like dogs, they help humans catch prey and we reward them with food. They are men's best friend. And this is definitely more eco-friendly than fishing with nets because you can only catch a few fish a day. Its way more sustainable.
@@aidanwoodford8195 how stupid and brainwashed do you need to be to think working animals are slaves
Where my Pokemon fans at? You know why you're here lol
CRAMORANT OH YEAAAH
Or Pelipper?
Cramorant can swallow Kyogre
Loved the ending!
I have been there for a few times, I love there a lot. Environment friendly.
Believe me, these birds are treated family. They are loved, revered. I bet you couldn't buy one from them.
Loved the one at the end - naughty cormorant. I far more prefer this relationship between fisherman and 'fisherbird' than the western one which is just for the former to kill the latter :), we can learn something from the guys in this vid.
didn't any of you read ping growing up? that was a fabulous children's book
This is truly green farming :)
Fish was like "And I have been told to stay home"
Simply amazing!
Rhett McLaughlin's angst after watching this on Netflix brought me here! Now you've hooked me up with this series, Rhett! XD
I love when he said that they will simply withdraw labor if not rewarded. Bird strike.
I prefer using "Pets" instead of "Slaves "
Chinese call their Slaves as Pets.... pathetic
The fish like "Ey what you doin leave me alone"
This is less “fishing with birds” and more “how to interrupt the circle of life and profit from it”
Lahat ng mga hayop sa mundo ay may pakinabang ❣️
This is fascinating
Fantástico!
قمة الابداااااااااع رهييييييب
Thanks reddit. This was truly remarkable
I like it at the end when the bird steals the big one
مرحباً. الظاهر دوانية الحداقين بالصين صكت على دوانية الحداقين بالكويت والشباب يحدقون بالحيشان بنفس الطريقة.لوووووول.والسلام لأهله.
The birds are slaves! Give me a break then all working pets are slaves.
Not exactly, the animals usually get more out of that’s arrangement then they would otherwise, that’s the difference between a symbiotic relationship and a parasitic one, give and take, in the case of working animals they get more food then they would normally and protection from predators, in exchange for a portion of their food going to humans, similar to how an ox pecked gets free food and protection while the ox gets a parasite cleaning,
@@tannerbruning868 Hi, Sorry I was just trolling a BBC spin on this video. Thank you for offering a thoughtful opinion.You are clearly a noble person to do it in the comments section. I do agree with you.
@@tannerbruning868 thats overgeneralization, there is no such thing as "usually get more. or get less.", numerous animals have been trained to work (for human) through out all civilizations, they werent slaves, surely aint pets, it is a simple matter of survival. the word συνβίωση simply means to co-exist, literally.
It was a joke lol
We are all slaves to the system
Typical BBC. Ironically, Fish helping Chinese farmers is called slaves, while Huskies pulling sleds in Alaska or Europe is called friendship and loyalty. Lol ;)))
The dog usually gets something it wouldn’t have had gotten otherwise, the dog gets food in exchange for labor, the bird captures all the fish yet only gets a portion of it, what does the human give the bird in exchange?
The Child Of The Corn it’s not a fair share tho, the bird dos literally all the work, although you could argue the bird is given a safe nesting friend and protection from predators, as well as access to better fishing spots,
Dogs are just so friendly and social that they don't complain when they get the shorter end of the stick.
@@tannerbruning868 Well, the bird does have a higher chance of survival compared to wild birds, since the people will probably kill any animal that messes with their fishing tools.
u need a trigger warning?? lighten up ⬆️
It seems Double-crested cormorants are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA), so I’ll be unable to try this technique myself.
قمة الذكاء
2:50 :)
A fantastic series this, "Wild China".
هذا استخدام طيب للعقل وبأقل مجهود دون الحاجة للغوص وراء السمك
أعجبتني الحركة
I heard the birds are their 'comrades' 😅
I once in a while return for the fish seeking missles :D, love them ;)
This epic as hell
Nature using Nature to attack Nature (Humans using birds to attack fish) lol
Wow.....amazing
I like this and I sure would like to try it but the bad thing about this is them picking them up by their necks and the knot in their neck I don't think they can swallow a fish that big
I came here from an episode of Good Mythical Morning. Specifically season 1 episode “Eating Chinese Hornets for Breakfast.”
"fish seeking missiles"
this was in amazing race!!
سبحان الله قمه في الروعه ...
amazing
extraordinary!
Wow Amayzing Old Man🙏🏽☝️❤️
Basically the birds do all the work.
Great idea!
That is very cool and interesting!! I was just reading about it in Amy Tan's novel "The Joy Luck Club" for school. It's surprisingly a very good book and the author described the fishing very well!
lol the end was funny
when i saw the szene with the whole group hunting one fish, i couldn´t stop thinking about velociraptors
I see same thing in my hometown when I was a child. But noone does it now
i was there in that place.......its a beautiful place.
no fish left in the river.......
Pleasure To See Nature In Action
I am creating things in my life thanks for the dope clip ❤
Wish polar bear are this easy to tame for hunting and fishing as well
...cormorants can keep a tally of the fish they catch...
I didn't know birds like cormorant get existed that way when will get fish. 2:25
I swear to god everything Asian is good at Math
that's how the Japanese does too, but the man in the documentary didn't have to tie the birds' neck. search for this video. I'm not sure which part it is, but I think it's at the end of this one here. Satoyama (narrated by David Attenborough) 1/6
1:29 ''Cyaaa fellas! HA!''
awesome idea
Very cool.
ماشاء الله عليهم يقدرون يدبرون امورهم
With no petroleum in their country.
i think this is awesome and smart
I had to watch this for home work._.
wonderful to see video clip
that is smart as hell!
the bird that ate the good fish in the end is gonna get it.
Thats genius
That's a bunch of good birds. Ahh I love ducks!
Ducks? Cormorants.
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
sin palabras...
I came here from an episode of Good Mythical Morning. Specifically season 1 episode 4 titled “Chinese Hornets for Breakfast.”
Nice fishermen hats
Awesome !!
that is so awesome =O
nice!
Correct! Besides, we can see that those birds aren't tied down or something. They are free to leave anytime, but they choose to live with their masters. In fact, it was said in the video that they will leave if their master if they are not being paid well. So I think they have a better life and a better job with benefits and privileges that I myself am not getting from my company. Haha
smart!!!
اعجبني الحاجة ام الاختراع
Great show though
I want a trained cormorant. Where can i get?
الله أكبر

Carbon free fishing. Symbiosis at its best. No wonder you said the river was one of the cleanest. Human intelligence👍
well what do you think causes other rivers to be polluted lol it’s human activity
now i know how to make those bird catch first for me :D
The Li.
