Why Great Egrets Dip Their Fish Before Eating!

Why Egrets Dip Their Food in Water?

Watch the amazing feeding behavior of the Great Egret as it prepares its catch with remarkable skill. Birds like herons and egrets often dip their prey in water — not just to soften it, but also to position it correctly and neutralize sharp spines before swallowing.

In this video, you’ll see how the egret:
• Softens and lubricates the fish since birds don’t produce saliva
• Repositions the prey to swallow it headfirst safely
• Neutralizes sharp fins and spines by dipping and adjusting
• Removes debris and ensures the fish is clean before eating

This intelligent feeding technique shows how adaptable and smart these birds truly are.
Perfect for bird lovers, wildlife enthusiasts, and nature video viewers!
