"Crows in the zoo" is a Citizen Science project of the Department for Behavioral and Cognitive Biology of the University of Vienna in cooperation with the Konrad Lorenz Research Station and the Zoo Vienna. The researchers aim to find out more about the species and subspecies of crows that use the Zoo area. All visitors of the Zoo Vienna are welcome to join in!
KraMobil is a Citizen Science Project of the University of Vienna in cooperation with ZooVienna to observe crows and their behaviour. The aim is to actively involve zoo visitors and citizen scientists in the research activities of the University of Vienna (Department of Behavioural and Cognitive Biology together with the Konrad Lorenz Research Center) to monitor different crow species and individual crows’ behaviour in the zoo. These observations shall allow scientists to understand better the ecological factors determining their group dynamics.
The observations will also provide insights on the influence of ecological factors (e.g. food availability or presence of zoo animals) on their social behaviour.
While a particular focus lies in the area of the Zoo Vienna, observations from elsewhere in and around Vienna are welcome.
With the app users can observe several subspecies of crows native to central Europe, and also their behaviour, such as foraging, aggression, affection, and more, thus learning exciting facts about these fascinating birds.
