Avian Communication
The native Avian language is often described as �guttural, yet musical�. However, the bright-feathered birds have many more ways to communicate in ways exclusive to their kind. Their body language is unique and they vocalise like wild birds to get some contexts across to others. Both these processes are subconscious like anyone else�s body language. Note that �bating� is flapping the wings without taking off.
Anger: Puffed feathers, raised wings, talons digging down, bating, glaring, closed third eyelids, hunched posture, raised crest.
Fear: Puffed feathers, folded wings, leaning back, slight crouching, angling away, refusal to make eye contact, closed third eyelids, bating.
Happiness: Smiling, head held high, eye contact, raised crest, restlessness, rapid speech.
Sadness: Drooping wings, hunched posture, slow movements, refusal to make eye contact, withdrawal, loss of energy.
Confidence: Puffed feathers, raised crest, straight posture, wings held back, slow movements.
Uncertainty: Slow movements, wings held back, refusal to make eye contact, hunched posture, fidgeting.
Embarrassment: Flat feathers, refusal to make eye contact, short speech, fidgeting, bating.
Chirp: Contentment, idleness, curiosity
Trill: Thoughtfulness
Chitter: Amusement
Screech/Shriek: Fear, anger, pain
Coo: Flattery, affection, gratitude
Purr: Great happiness, arousal. Can also indicate a distressed avian desperately trying to cheer themselves up.
Birdsong: Boredom
Rapid Chattering: Extreme fear, distress, pain
Hiss: Rage, aggression, pain
