Guest buster321c Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Not seen it , but dont they use cormorants or something ? They raise em from chicks for a close bond with em and tie some type of twine around their necks (loosely) so they cant swallow the fish . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SEAN3513 7 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 yes it is true, but poorly portrayed in the advert. the cormorants take smaller fish and they wear collars around their necks to prevent them from swallowing the fish. cheers sean Quote Link to post Share on other sites
