Crow Cleaners 發佈於 2020-01-06 @ http://bit.ly/2sYPphv

Narrator: Woah! That looks fun … and kinda scary too! But I love going to
theme parks! How about you? 你喜歡去遊樂園嗎? Lots of people love going to
theme parks, that's why there's usually many people and often long lines to
get on the rides.

But you know what else lots of people bring? 人多的時候會帶來甚麼呢? Trash!
When there are lots of people, that usually means lots of trash.

But what can the theme parks do about it? 該怎麼處理呢?

Hmm ... put out more trash cans? 垃圾桶放多一點嗎? Sure … Put up signs to
tell people "Please don't litter"? Sure … That might help. Any other ideas?
還有甚麼方法呢

Well, a theme park in France had the smart idea to train animals to help
throw away trash!

Yeah, It's true! Can you guess the animal they're training?
你猜猜看是訓練哪種動物呢?

Could it be … garbage goats?........ No, probably not, ...Trash tigers? …..
Hmm ... that could be dangerous,..…Junkyard jellyfish? …….. How would they
even pick up the trash?!

Actually, it's … crows. ……. 答案是烏鴉!

The theme park has been training some of these smart, helpful birds to fly
around the park, pick up trash and take it to a trash can.
這些聰明的烏鴉飛來飛去撿垃圾還會丟垃圾桶!

How did they train them? With food! The trainer rewards crows with treats
when they put trash in the right place. They're so smart!

Sometimes the crows even try to trick the trainer by bringing something that
isn't trash ... like a piece of wood. Haha! Cheeky crows! 好調皮的烏鴉!

But it is working really well. So well, in fact, that the park is training
even more crow cleaners!
