Hahaha. And yeah, that's why I was wondering if it was BF specifically. Like our cats, while they like BF, tend to get more skittish when he walks around them rather than when I do. He kind of stomps more when he walks I guess (even though I'm a couple inches taller than him). So maybe he just comes off as more "challenging" or "threatening" than I do? When the cockerel (Lucy, that was his name before we knew he was a boy, but it still suits him, lol) started behaving this way, BF has been trying to show dominance more and other things to get Lucy to behave better, too.The BF, not the cockerel.
Kidding, kinda.... but animals do react to humans demeanor.
If human is nervous, it can provoke a reaction from bird.
I just mentioned in another reply here wondering if the cockerel sees BF as competition or something? Lucy was eating out of my hand this morning with the pullets, and he seemed fine until BF walked outside the house door. Lucy ran up toward him up to the fence. Granted, BF was being loud and making jokes, so that's why it just seems more specifically to BF than to just human, haha.
