The ancients once talked about what kind of small animals help people catch fish.

The ancients once lectured a small animal called osprey to help people catch fish.

Osprey is a kind of bird that lives near the water. It is favored by the ancients because of its sharp beak and excellent diving ability. In ancient times, the main ways to teach osprey were to train its instinct of diving and fishing, and to cultivate its trust and dependence on human beings.

When fishing, the osprey will quickly dive into the water to catch fish according to human instructions. Because of their excellent eyesight and diving ability, osprey can often accurately find and catch fish swimming in the water. Once the fish is caught, the osprey will fly back to the surface, put the fish in its mouth and wait for the reward of human beings.

The advantage of ancient people fishing with osprey is that they can dive underwater for a long time and quickly find and catch swimming fish, instead of boating and fishing with nets for a long time like humans. In addition, the osprey can catch a large number of fish in a short time, which improves the efficiency of fishing.

Methods of training osprey:

1. Build trust: build a good trust relationship with Osprey. This requires close interaction with the osprey and giving them appropriate rewards and care. Through a long period of getting along and training, the osprey gradually adapts to human beings and builds trust in human beings.

2. Command training: based on the trust relationship between Osprey and human beings, command training is carried out. This includes teaching osprey to dive and fish quickly after hearing instructions, and putting fish in its mouth after successfully catching fish and waiting for human rewards. Through repeated training and strengthening, the osprey gradually learned and adapted to these instructions.

3. Diving training: In order to improve the diving ability of the Osprey, diving training is needed. This includes letting the osprey practice in shallow water, gradually deepening the water depth and teaching them how to find and catch fish underwater. By gradually increasing the difficulty of training, the diving skills of osprey are gradually improved.

4. Incentive mechanism: In the training process, it is the key to establish an appropriate incentive mechanism. When the osprey successfully catches fish, it is necessary to give them appropriate rewards in time, such as food or praise. This can encourage osprey to participate more actively in fishing activities and improve their fishing efficiency.
