Traditional Cormorant Fishing

admin1 — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 16:38:54 +0000

Cormorant fishing has been practiced in China for more than a thousand years (Hoh 2000). Although cormorants are also used to fish in Japan.

The birds are trained to search for fish at their master’s signals, typically a sharp whistle, shout, or stamping of feet. Once a cormorant catches its prey, the fish is lodged in the bird’s elastic esophagus. Usually, a cord is tied around the bird’s neck to prevent it from swallowing the fish. When the cormorant’s neck is full it returns to the boat and delivers the prey to its master. To maintain the cormorants’ motivation to fish, they are kept on a reduced diet and are rewarded with food after each catch.

Can you spot the coffins in this kitchen? Kind of hard to miss them. This is a kitchen done by “Coffin It Up,” an interior design and construction company. “If you have a specific coffin need or idea, it can and will be created, if you desire,” says their website. “Prices will vary, based on coffin type and materials used. The possibilities lie within your imagination.”

Also to be found on their website, a countdown tracker. As of this writing, “154 Days Remain.” But to what? I can’t say, but it’s freaking me out. Just a little.

Unfortunately, as these amazing pictures show, a resident swan wasn’t so keen on sharing its spot and threw the fawn out on its ear – with a deftly aimed peck.
