Papillon Kisses Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Hmmmm... what I think? There are other things too but what jumps out at me is that there's an awful lot of lip licking going on. I don't think the dog feels comfortable with the little critter. What do you think RP? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuralPug Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 I'm with you. The dog is definitely uncomfortable. My guess is that he knows he is not permitted to harm the bird and is unhappy about that. I really don't see him as joyously playing with the bird, or even being protective of it. I don't feel that there is strong prey drive happening here, just wanting to be rid of a pest? Or am I drawing too long a bow? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juice Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I agree , and poor bird being stuck inside . My mum has them in her garden I didn't realise how tiny they were . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRG Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I agree. The dog is unhappy and anxious not playful or protective. Looks like mine used to when I had a rabbit and they knew they were not to touch but fixated and fascinated by it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
