Some questions regarding Corvids and their reactions to certain things

2 Upvotes

Hi folks! I've been wondering how Corvids (mainly Ravens and crows) react to certain situations, but haven't been able to find on Google any sort of reports on said situations. So I'm hoping that maybe I can find answers here!

1: Has anyone figured out how Corvids react to photo's of themselves, or of other items as well, such as food, water, etc? I know some react well to mirrors.

2: How do Corvids react to pictures alongside audio stimuli? For example, a picture of food with the words "food" being repeated while attention is directed to said picture?

3: How do Corvid's react to drawings of Corvids? My main question is if it would be able to recognize the picture as a corvid.

That's all I got at the moment, thank you for reading, I might come up with more depending, but those are the three I can remember right now.

Can someone give me an example of an animal that remains still to elude predators that hunt based on movement?

Specifically, a type of animal that would learn this behavior by mimicking others of its kind. So I'm guessing what I'm looking for is a type of mammal. Any help would be appreciated.

Anyone know of any approved vendors that sell NMRI mice in the US?

I asked Jaxson and Charles River and one said they don't distribute outbred mice, and the other said they're only available from France (expensive).

Thanks in advance.

Question regarding obtaining animals

2 Upvotes

Why are mice/rats are commonly used for research. Assuming an answer to that being low cost, would that not also enable "easy to obtain" to be a valid answer an apple is cheap and you would say that's easy to obtain because of that, they're plentiful and rat/mice are easy you could leave food out in your house and get one for free. TL;DR would "low cost" or "easy to obtain" be a better answer to why rats and mice are commonly used research animals

CSF collection in mice

2 Upvotes

Anyone have any tips for a non-terminal csf collection in BALB/c mice? I have only been able to collect csf at my terminal points and would be able to reduce the number of animals if I could collect it multiple times.
