Gander bobbing whole body?

[starrymutt]

I was sitting with my flock today and my gander came over in greeting, loudly making noise, and started preening but then he started bobbing his head and trying to sit down before his whole body kinda did a wave motion.

I've never saw it before

Was he doing the dunking motion like when he takes a bath?

Yeah!

 

[Goosebaby]

Yeah!

Sounds like a bath frenzy! They get so carried away with bathing and preening that sometimes they will go through the motions with or without water.
