Title: What a smart Heron

This one has learnt how to lure fish using a piece of bread. Incredible.

That's cool.  Showing the type of thinking skills we usually associate with Crows, Jays and Ravens.

This is really cool. It seems this behaviour has been going on for a while. There was a National Geographic from the 70s that I remember showing similar behaviour (in that case, the heron was using food pellets in a place where people were feeding them to fish or something else).
