Cormorant Fishing Gifu Japan

The poorest people on rivers in East asia would take these black waterfowl called cormorants and train them to catch little fish for them. Basically they go out at night with huge braziers to attract the kind of fish they want and put out the birds on leashes. If the bird gets one on a dive, it cant swallow it due to a ring around its neck which is loose enough for it to breathe fine, but not enough for it to expand the way it needs to down a fish...so when it gets one they haul it back into the boat and turn it upside down and choke the fish out of its mouth. They dont really do this anymore in Japan for a livelihood its just for the show and tradition. In China and the Koreas they do it for real though. Maybe Southeast Asia as well.
