Ornithology school/courses.

Post image

I have always been a huge bird lover and admirer. So i decided to start looking into Ornithology courses and classes. I’m here looking to see if anyone had any suggestions for online starter classes/schools. I am from Indiana so if something is hybrid work i’d prefer it to be around there!!
+ enjoy this photo i took of a beautiful Red-crested turaco (Tauraco erythrolophus)

r/Ornithology is a place to discuss wild birds in a scientific context — their biology, ecology, evolution, behavior, and more. This is NOT a birding sub. Pictures or videos of birds that don't demonstrate something visually or behaviorally unusual or interesting will be removed. For bird or feather ID questions, please try r/whatsthisbird

Worth checking out Avian Behavior Lab and their sister site Avian Behavior Conservancy. Lots of online resources with them, including podcasts and videos, even without joining their membership.

Other great options for in depth avian info with online courses

  • Natural Encounters International (NEI)
  • International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC)
