So...Cas is all big and grown now and I'm beginning to think he's actually a she based on some developing behaviors, but I'd like opinions from the experts here.
Where do I start? OK, well I'm still followed everywhere I go. When I pet his(her?) back now something new happens. He will flatten and kind of spread his wings a bit, lower his neck, stay perfectly still almost trance like, and assume a sort of face-down-butt-up (Lol) type of stance? Also, if I pet his belly he will lift a wing, or both and enjoys being pet under his wings, but this also leads to the wings sort of flattening out to where his back feathers are more exposed? If that makes any sense!
Based on my basic knowledge of most critters this would all seem to be more female type behavior, and even more frightening it seems to suggest that I'm seen as a mate? For lack of a better way to put this, and to keep it child appropriate, how do I know that he(she) isn't uh....enjoying... my petting TOO much? Lol
Or...am I reading too much into it? Any ideas?
