It's not difficult to break a flyer's tail -- >indeed, while they don't separate quite as easily as >some 'lizards', the tail is not held to the body with >very strong sinew. The point of this is, ecologically >speaking, the flyer can escape from a tail-grasp with >its life, if not its tail.

I only mean it as a reminder. Don't restrain >the flyer by its tail, as you might easily cause it to >break (not always away from the body, but held by only >the skin ...). But by <U>all</U> means, enjoy >physical play, with Rain. Flyers, unlike some other >creatures, are really very tactile. They like >physical touch -- they most often greet one another >with a kiss; and of course, in group setting, nearly >always prefer sleeping in a group, rather than >individually. Many 'solo' flyers also greet their HOF >with a kiss -- Molly would run up my torso, put both >forepaws on my cheek, and or lips, and touch me with >her muzzle. One of my girls, Elizabeth, always grasps >my finger, and licks it, if I open her nestbox. It's >always very much like a kiss, not at all like she's >looking for treats.
