I picked up my son's drake today and had a long chat while petting his chest. I like to keep him friendly. He was fine but went off and told the girls (who were playing in the wading pool) to stay away from me!! My own previously psychotic drake has been the poster boy for good behavior...
Sorry for the laughing emoji on your post, @awkwardkale. It's a "been there done that" sort of laugh. My son's drake behaves exactly like you describe, with my husband and my son. The drake is at real risk of being stood on or tripped over for his attacks on their feet. I don't think either...
