They will first look for bait outdoors, such as food scraps or earthworms. Egrets will put these lures on the water and wait for the fish to eat them. This method is very effective. Soon, the greedy fish will swim over. At this time, the egret will quickly catch the fish in the water with its mouth and let itself have a good meal.
Egrets are wading birds and often go to swamps, lakes, wet forests and other wetland environments. They mainly prey on small fish, amphibians and reptiles in shallow water, including fish, crustaceans and insects, especially all kinds of fish and shrimp. Egrets will step on the water with one foot when fishing, and fly over the shallow coastal waters to fish.
Generally, egrets will fly on the water after seeing their prey. They step on the water, quickly pounce on the prey fish, and fight hand-to-hand with the prey in the water. When they fish, egrets stand on one foot in the water like red-crowned cranes, feeding on flexible necks and sharp beaks.
The habits of egrets:
The feathers of egrets are of high value, and most of them are white. Egrets mostly inhabit coastal islands and rivers, lakes and swamps near their coasts. They like to move and feed in streams and rivers near the coast and rest in coastal mountains. Often standing in the water with one foot, the egret looks light but steady when walking, and looks leisurely. ?
