Ravens

They are known for their amazing intelligence, for their clever use of tools and for their extraordinary social interaction: Ravens and crows have fascinated and accompanied humans since time immemorial. Do ravens really live as strictly in relationships of two as married couples in a single-family home? Why do they leave an area where there is enough food? How do they manage to empathize with others? And what rules shape their complex social system? The internationally renowned raven researcher Thomas Bugnyar dispels many myths and black-and-white images. As a behavioral and cognitive biologist, he takes us on a journey of discovery into the life, thinking and feeling of ravens. We learn to understand the behaviors of corvids, but also: that they understand us.
