>Rain also, on a regular basis, grabs my fingers and >licks them! She is never aggressive towards me,when I >put my hand in her cage,, but will bite anybody >,unlucky enough, to stick their finger in her cage! >However, when I take her out, she loves everybody and >never bites!! Funny little animal!! >No,not holding >onto her tail; just flipping it! It >>was curled up there so cute while she was eating a nut >>and I just flipped it w/o really thinking about what I >>was doing: But then she chittered and dropped the nut >>and proceeded to go after my hand! Not biting or >>aggresive; seemed more like playing.. Anyway, it was >>very cute, and as I said, she has never been vocal >>before!!> This is really the 1st time I have heard her >>make a sound. I was at my Son's house and his >>bird clock made an Owl sound and Rain hid and made >>these little noises off and on for 20 Mins..All the >>while being VERY still!! That is the only other time >>I have heard her make a sound!! (Thanks for the kind >>words, and thanks for your >>>continued ...) correspondence here, keeping us >>>informed on Rain's progress with you! >>> >>>Does sound like Rain was beginning the 'war dance', >>>when you tugged her tail. They are a riot, and can >>>just be playing with you, when they go into 'mock >>>battle' mode -- but just a word of caution, re their >>>tails. 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 don't mean this as a >>>condemnation of 'rough' play -- Molly Kule and I >often >>>played 'Wrestle, wrestle', with me using my hand to >>>'tossle' with Molly, and Molly 'mock' biting at my >>>fingers -- but remember just how delicately these wee >>>bits of wonderment are built -- their bones are very >>>light. 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. (And I also don't think it's for >>>want of salt, as they have a salt lick in their >>>quarters available at all times ...). >>> >>>Have you had a chance to photograph Rain? We'd love >>>to see some photos!!! If your PC 'fears' include >>>photo programmes, I can assure you that many, like >>>Photobucket, are made for those of us with limited PC >>>knowledge. Or, you can contact me, and I'll upload >>>any photos you have to a Photobucket account, for >you. >>> >>>Yahoo and MSN also offer free online space, as does >>>Kodac and even Walmart! At Wallyworld, in the photo >>>department, the employees can help you to upload >>>photos, even from 35mm film, etc. >>> >>> >>>>When they get angry, they do the "war dance" and it >>is >>>>hysterical to watch--especially if they are NOT >after >>>>you!
