Flap, Hop, Caw

Celebrate International Crow and Raven Appreciation Day by taking a virtual swoop through the Peabody Museum on Tuesday, April 27. These smart birds play games with each other, display anger and friendliness as well as appear in cultural tales from around the world. Flap like a real raven with museum educator Javier Marin and learn more about the birds’ characteristics with this online event presented by the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology along with the Harvard Museum of Natural History. Find ravens drawn or carved in Alaskan Native art, enjoy a read-aloud Tlingit tale plus make a paper craft with Andy Majewski, Peabody Museum educator. Advanced registration is required and will close 30 minutes before the start time.
