In Aesop's fable "The Wolf and the Dog," the wolf thought it was not wise to attack the house dog because the dog was:

• Well-fed: The wolf saw that the dog was plump and in good condition, indicating that it was well-cared for and not desperate for food.
• Strong and Healthy: This suggested that the dog would be a formidable opponent.
• Guarded: The dog's collar indicated it had an owner. Attacking it would bring the owner's wrath, which was something to avoid.

The fable "The Man and the Lion" tells of a man and a lion having a conversation about their respective strengths and abilities. In this fable, the man and lion are walking together, and the man points out a statue of a man overpowering a lion, arguing that it proves man's superiority. The lion retorts that if lions knew how to sculpt, they would depict lions dominating men.

Aesop's fables, including "The Man and the Lion," often use animal characters to convey moral lessons or illustrate human nature.

This method takes advantage of the birds' natural foraging behavior.
