Do You Think Animals Worry About Things?

@kodiac makes it hard to leave when they do that

@cherokeepatti very!

@RobinPhoenix Several kinds of cows and three buffalo.

@assemblingaknob My dad was afraid of her at first. He doesnt like dogs.He finally gave her a chance though.He saw how well behaved she was.I hope your dad comes around one day.Im sorry to hear it.🤗

@assemblingaknob It's sad to think that some people don't have an appreciation of dogs, they are one the coolest creatures on earth, and I'm not exaggerating that in the slightest.

@UnderLockDown I knwwwww doggos are the cutest 🥺

@cherokeepatti aww 🥰 dogs are adorable 🐾

@Fairydust I think he might have got left at home a couple of times and then watched my aunt pretty closely especially when she reached for her purse. 💄=🚗

@cherokeepatti aw they learn quick, like mine with suitcases, they try to stop me leaving 😬

@cherokeepatti I'm not sure. I am surrounded by forests and there are all sorts of birds around me, including birds of prey. Once in a while there is a distress call sound from a bird that has gone on for long.

@SW-User Sometimes mother birds will pretend to be crippled to lead anyone away from the area of her nest with fledglings inside. I had one do that one time at a rural cemetery that rarely had visitors. The bird was a scissor-tail flycatcher pretending to have a broken wing and kind of running on the ground. I could tell it was playing the game to get me away from the tree she had her nest in.

@cherokeepatti That I did not know. But another sign of a bird worrying.

@FreestyleArt I had a male parakeet that would get scared and have anxiety pacing back and forth on his perch saying “weep, weep” over and over when he’d hear the word “storm” a few times in one weather broadcast. He started that after a tornado warning when i got all of the bird cages into the hallway and shut the doors, turn off the hall light and climbed in the lower linen closet with my laptop, phone & purse. Waited till the tornado went over the house, it sounded like a freight train engine cycling as it twisted over and past. I climbed back out of the closet and got the birds back to the living room. Someone called and I told him what we did, Baby (the worrier) heard me tell the short story & when I stopped he said “Weep, Weep!” In a scared voice. We had a long line of thunderstorms that lasted about 2 hours a couple months later and he fussed the whole time, didn’t bother the other birds. Then in the winter the meteorologist kept talking the snowstorm one morning, he started fussing again. I had to pick his cage up and take him out in the sun room and show him the snow falling and explain that a winter storm wasn’t scary and wouldn’t hurt us....he calmed right down.

@cherokeepatti crazy. the reason I brought it up. I heard there's going to be a huge storm and wonder Animals can sense weather patterns far away. do you live in the south

@FreestyleArt Oklahoma, already had a tornado in the western part I think. The cold front is in states east of us now. The winds sure blew strong and are still blowing here. I heard they had a blizzard in western Oklahoma near the panhandle area after having springlike weather before the front came in.

@Ingwe their cages needed to be cleaned and I did it a couple hours later and refilled their food and water cups. I skipped one day cleaning. This same parakeet has said “Take care of me” a few times when his cage needed to be cleaned. He was a clean bird when he was still young, he’d pick up any fallen feathers back then and throw them out of his cage.

@cherokeepatti beyond sweet Patti

@Ingwe I talk to them when I am cleaning their cages so they don’t get scared. I tell them I am taking care of them & don’t be scared, I am going to clean their cages & give them food and water. One female was a bit skittish and I will tell her to watch my hands, to look at my hands while I am cleaning or giving food and she will look down at them and calm down.
