Festival of Nature - Theater tour: The great spotted woodpecker and the bird of paradise

Events
Der Buntspecht und der Paradiesvogel
In search of the bird of paradise, the great spotted woodpecker takes you on a journey from the seashore to the rainforest - and you'll get to talk to all kinds of birds along the way: Why does the puffin have a much larger beak than the great spotted woodpecker? Why are great spotted woodpecker eggs completely white, while others are speckled with gray-brown? Is the great spotted woodpecker related to the toucan and are birds actually direct descendants of dinosaurs?

The theater tour takes place as part of the Festival of Nature.
