Herons usually feed on amphibians and reptiles, but they often like to eat rodents and birds.

Group hunting by herons is also known without the use of a long ambush. The birds simply start moving actively and muddying the water, snatching frightened fish out of the water.

Unlike most other birds, the heron does not stretch its neck forward when flying, but, on the contrary, pulls it in.

Gray herons are excellent parents. They share all the care of raising their young equally. Together they build a nest, incubate eggs, and feed the chicks
77.5% of the time herons are awake, standing on one leg and hunting. 5.9% of the time, herons sleep, and 16.6% of the time they are organizing their plumage. Most of the time, the heron stands almost motionless.

The heron's down crumbles as it grows and turns into a powder that covers its feathers in an even layer and protects them from getting wet.

Herons know how to create shade by luring in fish. To increase the area of shade, they spread their wings and fold them in a dome with their head down. This technique not only allows them to attract more potential prey, but also to choose the best one, because this improvised umbrella of wings relieves the bird's eyes from the blinding glare of the water.
