Bird Bait Mac OS
Flappy Bird isn’t the first game Sardesai has managed to squeeze into Apple’s interfaces. Previously, he made the classic game Pong playable as an icon on the Mac dock and fit Google Chrome.
Forget about bomb-sniffing dogs or cats that travel hundreds of miles to get home. If you're looking for signs of intelligent life, no animal (and that includes you, chimpanzees) is as impressive as a bird.
Birds can use scent, landmarks, magnetic fields, the location of the sun, the motion of stars and the plane polarization of light to navigate. Western scrub jays store food and retrieve it later, and if another bird sees them hide the food, they move it again for safekeeping once they're alone. Alex the African Grey parrot (whose obituary ran in the New York Times) learned and combined human words and phrases. New Caledonian crows make and use tools to reach distant food, and, showing an impressive ability to solve complex problems, they can even use tools to get tools to get food. (My all-time favorite typo hints at just how hard it can be for mammals to accept that avians are so clever: the Guardian newspaper attributed the ability to bend a wire into a hook and use it to extract food from a bottle to a New Caledonian 'cow' named Betty.)
Anyhow, even though I'm a birder and a bit of a connoisseur of birds-are-smarter-than-your-annoying-pet stories, I was surprised to see these videos of extreme tool use in green herons. Apparently they've learned that the bread people toss to ducks and other waterfowl also attracts fish. So they've started baiting the water themselves.
You can see other bait-fishing green herons here and here.

Maco’s Bait and Tackle started in the 1940s as a partnership between two families: Mahoney and Coop. The name was a contraction of both families last names MA-CO’s. During this time the building and business were located on cranberry hwy. It was later moved down to the edge of the water in the Cohasset narrows. The building was known as the Capt Harris cottage.
Harriet and Al D’Souza owned the business for approx. 15 years from 1955 through 1969.
Dick and Dottie Hopwood bought the business in 1970 and the Hopwood family has operated the business ever since. The building, the business, and the Hopwood family have survived many challenges over the last 50 years, the blizzard of 1978 which flooded the building and buried the docks. Several other no-name storms and floods. Hurricane Bob: where 6 feet of water stood in the building and the storm surge took the fuel docks out to sea and the rental boats ended up on cranberry highway in front of what is now known as Capt Als. Also, a devastating mother’s day fire in May 1998 that destroyed all the contents of the building. Through all these setbacks, Dick and Dottie found a way to continue on and grow the business. They were able to transform Maco’s from a small bait shack to a full-service Bait and Tackle business including wholesale bait distribution to over 40 customers on Cape Cod, the Islands, the South Coast and parts of the South Shore.
The family and the business lost it Matriarch in 2004: many nice articles were writing on Dottie’s contribution to the local fishing community. She was an avid fisherman and once won the Mass State Pin for Flounder with a 5-pound winter doormat.
Dick continued on with support from family and many great friends, some of which have been referenced and thanked below. The Business was at a tipping point after the summer of 2015, the growth in sales required more space than the tiny Capt. Harris cottage could provide. In the fall of 2016 Maco’s relocated to its current address, 3173 Cranberry hwy, a little less than a mile from the Cohasset narrows bridge and the still-standing Capt Harris cottage.
Dick oversaw the transfer to our new location, including stamping his vision on the building, the contents, and the entire infrastructure. After a successful first season and ensuring the business is set to prosper in the future, the Patriarch of the Hopwood clan left us in August of 2016, 1 week after his 81st birthday.
Maco’s is a true family business, Established by Dick and Dottie Hopwood; currently owned equally by the second generation Hopwood children; operated by Jeff Hopwood, with four third-generation Hopwood grandchildren working the store, packaging bait or delivering bait. On any given day you could find anyone of the 4 children or the 10 grandchildren lending a hand
