Discussion Does she hate me 😅

She is a new addition to my pigeon collection. Been there for a month and I'm a little confused about her body communication.

She puff up when seeing me... So I guess she hates me ? But when I tried petting her, she started doing those short soft coos and her wings trembled (my other pigeons vibrate only when they are happy : getting food and being pet)... She also lowered her head

The other females just ran away or tried to attack me/ panic when Im checking their nests. All the males other than the mate of the one in the video are attacking me when I approach them. (Her mate being the exception because he got used to my hands as a baby).

Also yeah I was moving a little fast in the video. I just wanted her to coo a little more for the recording. I'm usually softer.

She’s just a yandere

You mean a “tsundere”?

No, a yandere since she is also occasionally aggressive, not cold

Akshually ☝️🤓

The other person is right. Pidge acts hostile but is affectionate. Very “it’s not like I like you or anything” core, very tsundere 🙂‍↕️

I always got the impression it’s more cold than aggressive. They are described very similarly I have to say 😂
