It\u2019s comparable to animals \u2013 like doves, mice, cats, rats, dogs, foxes and starlings \u2013 who\u2019ve adapted to city living in general.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Two, the city has worked hard to keep the trash from said diaper changing stations specifically and sewer lines in general out of the water ways. Of course, that wasn\u2019t always true. For the longest time the canals weren\u2019t just the city\u2019s roads but her sewers as well. But the city has been cleaning up its act for a while now.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, you\u2019re going to find a lot of different animals who claim the waterways as their homes \u2013 both above and below.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/youtu.be\/raR1DAgdpgk\t\t<\/p>\n<h2>Those who dwell above \u2013 birds<\/h2>\n<p>For a while there, the humble pigeon also tried to join our list, by building their nests on unused boats and the nooks and crannies of bridges. The government put a stop to that plan, though. They did so by blocking off those nooks and crannies with plastic strips. So now you\u2019ll just find water birds here.<\/p>\n<p>Those are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Gulls: <\/b>We\u2019re on the water and near the sea. So of course, you\u2019ll see gulls! There are a bunch of different species, including the common gull, the black-headed gull, the lesser black-backed gull and the herring gull. They live on the outskirts of the city and come in to scavenge french-fries when the waters don\u2019t provide.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Ducks:<\/b> There are two different kinds of ducks in Amsterdam: pretty ones and ugly ones. More traditionally, they\u2019re referred to as the Mallard and the Muscovy ducks. I wonder how people from Moscow feel about having the ugly duck named after them? What you\u2019ll also see is people feeding them bread. Really, they should give them seeds instead, as that\u2019s their actual diet. But feeding them bread is what everybody used to do with grandma. So, bread it is!\u00a0<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Coots:<\/b> These little dark birds with their white foreheads, though smaller than ducks, scare the bejesus out of them most days. That\u2019s in part because they\u2019re feisty and in part down to the nasty looking claws they hide just below the water\u2019s surface. Coots serve as unofficial garbage collects \u2013 using plastic bags and other debris to build their nests.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Swans<\/b>: They look so majestic, those white birds with their long necks, don\u2019t they? And boy, do they use it! Most days, we\u2019ve got a few swans who come by our houseboat, tap on our window and expect to get fed. Imagine if human beggars did that?<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Geese<\/b>: These incredibly territorial birds have staked out spots in parks and grassy areas, pooped all over them, and now feel the need to protect aggressively. Got woken last night by some loud honking? Then chances are some Geese were having a territorial dispute (though it could have been a Turkish football team victory).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Herons<\/b>: The long-legged heron can also be found standing patiently along the waterways. They\u2019re not much interested in our handouts, though. They prefer fish. Did you know these birds almost disappeared entirely from the Dutch landscape? Aggressive measure by the government and special nesting sites are why they\u2019re still here.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"514\" src=\"http:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Meerkoet-compressed-scaled-1-1024x658.jpg\" alt=\"coots\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Meerkoet-compressed-scaled-1-1024x658.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Meerkoet-compressed-scaled-1-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Meerkoet-compressed-scaled-1-768x493.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Meerkoet-compressed-scaled-1-1536x986.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Meerkoet-compressed-scaled-1-2048x1315.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h2>That which dwells below \u2013 fish<\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019ll also find a surprisingly large amount of fish in the canals. Or perhaps you won\u2019t, what with the water being so murky and all. But after reading this article you\u2019ll at least know what\u2019s out there just inches below the waterway waiting for you never to find them!<\/p>\n<p>If you are curious to actually see some of the animals living in the water, you can go to Artis. They now have a display of wild life in a Dutch canal. Alternatively, if you\u2019d like to try fishing in the Dutch canals, that\u2019s possible too. You can pick up a permit at the post office.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Do note, if you do go this route, its\u2019 best to throw whatever you catch back into the water as it\u2019s not advisable to eat them.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Freshwater Bream: <\/b>As Fresh Water Breams are bottom feeders, of our list, these are probably the least likely fish you\u2019ll see. I wonder what life is like down there, with the assorted rusting bikes and sets of lost house keys you\u2019re liable to find down there.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>\u00a0Pike: <\/b>the carnivorous pike is also around in most canals. Did you know they often grow up to half a meter in Length?\u00a0 Yeah, that\u2019s pretty big! Admittedly, the water conditions in Amsterdam aren\u2019t exactly optimal as they prefer clear water, but they\u2019re still around.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Eel: <\/b>Yup, paling isn\u2019t just available at the fish stand! Course, they\u2019re a little easier to catch in the fish shops. Probably a bit tastier as well. Still they\u2019re down there, slipping and sliding away and plotting their revenge for our cannibalistic crimes.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Carp: <\/b>The Carp are well known for having exceptionally good hearing. That\u2019s probably a good thing if you can\u2019t see your fin in front of you nose. It also means that you\u2019ve got to be vewwwwwy quiet if you\u2019re hunting carp.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Small Roach<\/b>: It\u2019s not really that surprising to find the Small Roach in our canals. This fish is very versatile and is better equipped to deal with organic pollution (isn\u2019t that a nice euphemism?) than most. For that reason, they\u2019re plentiful.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Rudd<\/b>: Very similar to the Roach, the Rudd is so adaptive that when it enters foreign waters it often displaces (another good euphemism) the local fish. That\u2019s why it\u2019s banned in much of the US. Could you say that\u2019s part of their anti-immigrant stance? As the fish is native to Europe it\u2019s plentiful in the Dutch waterways.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Zander<\/b>: Looking to go fishing in Amsterdam? Then you\u2019ll probably be fishing for the Zander. As it does well in murky water, this carnivore is well suited to the canal environments. It\u2019s also very tasty (though if you want to fish for the kitchen table, you\u2019re better off going a little outside of the city).<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Perch: <\/b>Another common angling fish is the Perch. This small carnivore will eat almost anything so you don\u2019t have to be too picky about what bait you use. They\u2019re small but feisty.\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Mullet<\/b>: Yes, it would be cool if Mullets had Mullets. But as most fish are follically challenged, that\u2019s unlikely to happen. On the plus side, you can actually see Mullets! That\u2019s because they like to jump out of the water every so often \u2013 though it\u2019s still not to show off their hairdos.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Is that it?<\/h2>\n<p>Hardly. There are more animals lurking down there, trying to make a living in the city\u2019s shadows. But we\u2019ll leave finding them up to you. There are bird watching and fish catching tours all around the city. So, it\u2019s not at all hard to go to see what\u2019s out there. We advise it! Particularly, if you can find a group who stick part of their money back into maintaining the Dutch wildlife \u2013 city-bound or otherwise!<\/p>\n<p>It is entirely possible for us to live in harmony with nature \u2013 even in a city like Amsterdam. All we have to do is be motivated to find out how and make the spaces available for them to dwell. And doing so will make our cities more agreeable, our parks more tenable and our outings more enjoyable. Who can argue against that?<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/youtu.be\/raR1DAgdpgk\t\t<\/p>\n<h2>Check out our tours<\/h2>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"http:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/private-canal-tour-amsterdam-tour-brouwersgracht-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"private canal tour amsterdam tour Brouwersgracht\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/private-canal-tour-amsterdam-tour-brouwersgracht-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/private-canal-tour-amsterdam-tour-brouwersgracht-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/private-canal-tour-amsterdam-tour-brouwersgracht-768x513.webp 768w, https:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/private-canal-tour-amsterdam-tour-brouwersgracht-jpeg.webp 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><br \/>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/blueingreen.amsterdam\/tours\/\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tGo to our Tours<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sure, the Dutch waterways are artificial and look as appetising as the trash can at a diaper-changing station, but a surprisingly large range of animals live there.
