Electricbarbarella Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 does it mean when you go to pick them up or just when you walk near them, one of mine that I think looks neaarly ready crouched when I went to pick her up, all the other try to leg it, she did until I got quite close and then just bent down. Is that it, is it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yolky Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I thought it was when you have your hand over their backs. My also sort of lifts her wings back a little like she is shrugging her shoulders when she crouches....is this a sign? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandychick Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 it is quite noticable when they do this. They crouch down, tail up with their wings out a bit. Mine do this when I pick them up or sometimes just when I walk close past them. Pepper crouches when I give her a nudge with a wellie boot to keep her the right side of the gate when I walk in!

Yep.... that's crouching. And they sort of freeze in that position for a bit too. Great for ease of picking them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
