The #Raven families that participate in food/object exploration experiments are named in themes. This year #Almtal: meet rockstars Cobain, Hendrix & Joplin; hobbits Merry & Pippin; and dances Rumba, Foxtrot, Salsa & Samba. Now ~5 weeks old and soon to fledge @univienna #research

CANCELLED: We have tried everything, but now it is certainty. The KinderUniAlmtal 2020 has to be cancelled due to the Corona crisis. #almtal #kinderuni
The Konrad Lorenz Research Centre now also has a twitter handle @KLF_UniVienna The best place to learn about #behaviour and see pictures of their beautiful study species #ornithology in the scenic #almtal
With a little luck you can watch black grouse mating rituals these days! #ornithology #animalbehaviour #almtal #grünauimalmtal
