Since my return from a sabbatical (at the NIAS, Wassenaar, The Netherlands, 2011-2012), I have had neither resources nor an institutional base for empirical research in France. Thanks to my Austrian colleagues and a number of master students from Strasbourg, I could nevertheless test a few ideas about cooperation with the kea housed in the Haidlhof Research Station, near Bad Vöslau in Austria.
