The Meeting
Popeye was the only one initially to turn up for his feed this evening, but then Penny turned up about 15 minutes later with the cygnets in tow.
Although this pair have been together at least 10 years,
protocols still have to be observed when meeting - no matter how long they have been apart.
Interesting seeing the moment his feathers go up. Did he have to wait for them to arrive before he could start his dinner?
ReplyDeleteNo, this is standard protocol, show defensive posture until you are acknowledged as the possessor of the territory.
