Crossing the Road
(Ive made a fair few threads lately, apologies for that)
This is kind of a question, kind of an observation.
So I have a bunny pen right to my duck's pen.
Dougie doesn't care, or pay attention. But Sprightly likes to nap against the bars, right beside Bonnie, with her being sat on the other side. As though she enjoys being close to her, or at least, they feel safe with eachother.
This morning there was a situation, Sprightly always watches when I let Bonnie into the pen, this morning, Bonnie was hidden in her hutch and refused to hop out. Sprightly saw her door was open. And watched. Bonnie didn't appear.
Sprightly came right up to the fence. And looked around trying to spot her, her head feathers raised and she started quacking. She sounded distressed. And she was very upset, like this, until Bonnie finally hopped out.
This isn't the first time I've seen this behaviour, Sprightly has looked for her and gotten very upset previously when I've put Bonnie to bed early. She expects her to be there and notices when she isn't.
I just find this really interesting
What is with this?
