We're having a bob-off over here, lol.
What does bobbing mean in their world?
@LnzyHou It can be a range of things. Angry, silly & demanding (ahem, OLIVER), showing off being macho, asserting dominance, mating courtship. The later of which this was. Before I started videoing, Pip initiated the bobbing. Basically flirting. Her slow bobbing indicates interest, if it were faster, that would be saying back off. She's basically saying hey baby! And he's responding like oooh lala!
There is no dragon shenanigans allowed, however. It's all talk, no action here🤣🤣🤣
Fascinating. I suspected it was some kind of communication.
@LnzyHou it's really cool!! Animals really do communicate with us. Most folks just don't slow down, or care enough to learn more of their language, beyond their basic cues (which is fine!) It really is fascinating though. It is also how I bond with my & other critters so well. The way I communicate with them💜
Do you bob back ?
@LnzyHou I have, at Oliver. More than not I'm shaking my head at him and not bobbing haha. Like yesterday when he wanted out & threw a fit, spilling his food AND water. I shook my head and picked him up, told him he was a bad boy and tapped him on the nose as I said it. He knows when he's good or bad. He loves being told he is a good boy and that he is so handsome. He gets super orange and happy
