As everyone who’s ever lived near the water knows, birds love to fish. And when most birds go fishing, they take advantage of their superior speed, agility, keen eyesight, and ability to fly, and swoop down upon the fish in one brief orgasm of predatory bliss. But apparently, one bird found this whole process brutish and crass, and opted instead to employ intellect in the pursuit of lunch. Grasping the ancient art of bait, this bird collected a piece of stale bread from the efforts of its boardwalk-begging brethren and, rather than gulping it down without a moment’s introspection, decided instead to use it as a lure. Capitalizing on the gullibility of guppies, the bird watched intently as they went for his bait, and calmly grabbed them as soon as they were in range. Such a keen use of strategy is rarely seen in the avian world, and worthy of recognition. Suffice it to say, Beaky Buddies, that if birds had their own version of Chess, this bird would be Bobby Fucking Fischer. Get it? Fischer? Oh, just watch the damn video.

I also like how the narrator keeps saying, “shrewdy, shrewdy” with such evident glee.
