If you've been paying attention, you know that rooks （乌鸦）are very intelligent birds. Now these geniuses have been given a job: six rooks have been trained to pick up rubbish in the Puy du Fou historical theme park in western France.
Whenever these six rooks deposit a cigarette butt or other small pieces of trash in a special container, it gives out a treat rewarding （奖励）rooks for their efforts.
The idea came from one of the park's falconers （放鹰者）, Christophe Gaborit. As part of the falconry show, rooks had been trained to pick up roses and bring them to a princess, so in the 2000s, Gaborit raised and trained two rooks to do the same with rubbish.
The rooks started to pick up rubbish for the first time over the weekend, and they'll be working four days a week under close supervision （监视） not for the birds, but to make sure the humans don't deliberately （故意地）drop rubbish to watch the birds clean it up.
The purpose of the rooks is to educate the people, to open their minds to think: OK, the birds are able to do something that we are much more able to do than them, so we should do this by ourselves," park president Nicolas de Villiers told NPR. "It's a funny way to show the people that you cannot throw the papers everywhere."
