A visit to the Haidlhof – Mystical, smart, honest: what makes Raben so special

Date:

Especially in autumn they dominate the sky, gardens and fields again: the ravens. Their distinctive call is increasingly heard in our ears during the cold season. Depending on legend, it was once considered a harbinger of death or a wise being. Or stop! Are they not ravens, but crows? Or even chew? We investigated how laypeople can distinguish them from each other and what is so special about these birds.

Loud, partly unknown bird sounds can already be heard when we arrive at the Haidlhof in Bad Vöslau (Lower Austria). The sun peeks carefully through the autumn mist and it smells of fresh wood chips. An old white cat walks quietly past us, a little further on two young women cross the yard.

Researchers from the University of Veterinary Medicine and the University of Vienna work in the centuries-old square courtyard with offices, kitchens, barns, stables and aviaries. Easily accessible by car, yet remote, surrounded by trees, and those who love nature can hardly imagine a more beautiful place to work.
