My 8 month old Mara (top of the pecking order) has started pecking at me when I enter the run. She doesn't do it as I walk in, she only does it when I'm sitting down. It doesn't seem like she's trying to intimidate me or fight with me - she's not puffing her chest up or flapping her wings - she's just giving me little pecks. Does she want my attention? Maybe she's trying to convince me to bring treats in? Maybe she thinks I should leave because there's not a ton of room in the run lol. Any ideas? The other day she hopped up onto my knee and looked at me for a while before she pecked my ear!
