GrrlScientist is an evolutionary biologist, ornithologist, aviculturist, birder and freelance science and nature writer. A native of the Pacific Northwest, she relocated from Seattle to NYC with her parrots after earning a BS in Microbiology (emphasis in Virology) and PhD in Zoology (Ornithology) from the University of Washington. In NYC, she was the Chapman Postdoctoral Fellow at the American Museum of Natural History for two years, pursuing part of her "dream" research project by reconstructing a molecular phylogeny of the parrots of the South Pacific islands. GrrlScientist and her five parrots are currently relocating to Germany, where she will continue writing her blog while also writing a book and learning German. (Meanwhile, her parrots will continue to nibble on her extensive personal library.)

It's springtime in bunnyland. This amusing streaming video shows .. well .. let's just say that most people probably never thought that a bunch of girls could cause so much trouble -- certainly, the photographers (who are trying to shoot a commercial) never thought so. (All narration is in Norwegian Finnish). [1:00].
Okay, for those of you who watched this, sorry to disappoint you about lesbian bunnies and out-of-control bunny hormones and all, but let me mention that same-sex humping is relatively common in animals because they use this to establish dominance hierarchies.

The narration is in Finnish, not Norwegian. I'll have to ask for a translation from someone else, although I am able to guess what comes on the end of the vit- you hear a couple of times.
