The MPIO has three departments, one in Seewiesen and one at the Ornithological Station (Vogelwarte) in Radolfzell. The location in Seewiesen was founded in 1958 as the Max Planck Institute for Behavioral Physiology, the workplace of the Nobel Prize laureate Konrad Lorenz. Today, two directors as well as several research groups work there. Recently renovated office buildings, a new laboratory building and a wind tunnel provide excellent facilities for researchers. The campus of Seewiesen is situated in Upper Bavaria between the lakes Starnberger See and Ammersee close to the city of Munich. The Vogelwarte Radolfzell is located in close proximity to the City of Konstanz and Lake Constance.
