Diane-Ida has been strangely aggressive with my bare hands, if I reach near her to do something, she growls, whines and pecks, pretty hard. Specifically the back of my hand upsets her. If I turn it over and show her my palm and fingers she stops.
I had thought she was looking for any treats I might be holding, but now I'm not sure. I know she's quick to react if I touch her without enough warning or accidentally, she will swing her head in that direction as if to bite, she pulls back usually. But with warning I can pick her up with my hand sliding under the front of her, and she's perfectly fine, legs all hanging down, very relaxed.
She's quite familiar with me, is that part of it? If I am crouching down she will leap on to my back and walk up to my shoulders and head. Its actually the best spot if the Bigs are around, very safe there. If any treats are getting handed out she'll get a hand with treats held up for her there in turn with the others. But she'll do that often whether there's treats involved or not. Just a change in the view?
