In this picture is a bird catching fish, directly picked up by someone to the river. This bird is called the Roro bird, with a thin rope tied to the neck of the bird, not tight nor loose, the bird keeper let the bird dive with the bird's beak to catch the fish, because it can not swallow after catching the fish, so it will spit the fish to the bird keeper.
