The famous fish doorbell link as its fish doorbell season

For anyone so inclined to push the doorbell.
Every spring, thousands of fish swim through Utrecht’s canals and waterways, searching for a place to spawn and reproduce.
This is how the fish swim through the canals of Utrecht. In the heart of the city lies the beautiful Weerdsluis, a manually operated lock. When the lock gates are closed, fish are forced to wait, wasting valuable time and energy – making them easy prey for birds and predatory fish.
To help the fish, an underwater camera is installed at the lock. If fish appear on screen, you can press the doorbell! This alerts the lock keeper, who will open the lock when many fish are waiting.
You can “ring” the Fish Doorbell from early March to late May
People do so enthusiastically every year. In 2024, the Fish Doorbell attracted around 2.7 million viewers, from America to Brazil! The project has gained global recognition, helping people worldwide learn about fish migration and Utrecht’s underwater world.

There are over 1700 people watching the feed. The guy on the receiving end of that doorbell prob disconnected the speaker.

When your Mom’s Utrecht canal smells of fish, ain’t nobody pressing that button.

"The stream is crowded, so ringing the doorbell isn't possible. However, you're always welcome to watch."

I saw that. I’m willing to bet that no one can actually ring it and that message is permanent.

Pretty cool story, but I’d hate to have this job.
