Linus the white necked raven is learning a new behavior through a process of positive reinforcement called shaping. He gets his favorite bits of food as he places the block in the mark from further and further away. Critical rule of thumb in training birds smarter than you: don’t bore the raven and don’t push the session too long. Slooooooow walk home 😆 | Avian Behavior Conservancy

Getting pretty close! Kelsey is training Linus the white necked raven for a voluntary injection so that he can be vaccinated for West Nile Virus. Right now she’s using a dulled needle to approximate towards the injection. That’s still a sharp poke, and they are both doing so well! Being able to avoid restraint coupled with the stress of the pain of the injection is a huge step to keeping our birds safe and healthy. You wouldn’t think that a quick interaction like that would make a huge differenc

Corvids are smarty-pants animals, and Forrest the white necked raven has always been one of the smartest birds I know.

Even more cumbersome items, like hand towels 😆 Ravens are the only non-primate animals that use gestures. They use their beaks to point to items. These are called deictic gestures. Even observations of comparable gestures in primates are

Kelsey is training Linus the white necked raven for voluntary injections so that he can get West Nile vaccines without restraint. Corvids are particularly susceptible to WNV. I love how Kelsey learned that it was easier to self film as you can see from the second clip, Linus would rather socialize. | Avian Behavior Conservancy

Our ABI team here at our project at the Memphis Zoo has been working with Forrest the white necked raven on some extra behaviors after his two programs during the day. Trained force free participation in medical care is a big deal when it comes to preserving trusting relationships and reducing stress. They taught him a mouth swab which is really fun to see the final product! Working in a zoo doesn’t always leave loads of time to train train train anything you want. The husbandry always comes fir

Hillary Hankey | Bird Behavior Expert on Instagram: "Forrest the African white necked raven is working on an interpretative behavior for our presentation at the @sandiegobirdfestival this weekend put on by @sandiegobirdalliance We use fake eggs to tell an important story about how biologists have to trick ravens in real life. The fake eggs we got were too slippery for Forrest to pick up, which we kind of suspected (seems even the fake ones are in short supply 😒). One of our team members, Diana,
