想出这一主意的是公园一个名为克里斯托弗·盖伯里特的放鹰员。训练乌鸦衔玫瑰献给公主,本就是放鹰秀的节目之一。于是在2000年到2010年间,盖伯里特就驯养了两只白嘴鸦来捡垃圾。
The training system is not dissimilar to experimental setups for testing corvid intelligence, in which a dispenser issues a food reward when a crow correctly performs a task.
这种训练体制和测试鸦类智商的试验安排并无不同,都是在乌鸦准确执行任务后由分配器发放食物奖励。
Earlier this year, we saw research in which a type of "vending machine" was used to teach crows how to tear paper into a specific shape. And 10 years ago, "hacker" Josh Klein built a similar vending machine to reward crows for retrieving lost money. So we know the concept works.
今年早前曾有研究用一种“自动售货机”教乌鸦如何将纸撕成特定的形状。十年前,黑客乔什·克莱恩制造过一个类似的售货机来奖励取回丢失钱币的乌鸦。由此可见,这一理念还是可行的。
The rooks were deployed for the first time over the weekend, and they'll be working four days a week under close supervision - not for the birds, but to make sure the humans don't deliberately drop rubbish to watch the birds clean it up.
白嘴鸦于上周末首次出动去捡垃圾,它们将在密切监视下每周工作四天,不是要监视鸟,而是为了确保没有人为了看乌鸦捡垃圾而故意丢垃圾。
