Manatees noticed we can't pet them, so they have taken it upon themselves to pet us instead.

Pigeons aren't wild animals. She helped a pet feel like a pet again.

@Cmfover84
It’s so human to see a wild hawk and the first instinct is to help and almost pet it. Do you think animals can feel when someone’s safe to trust or is it just desperation in that moment

That impulse is so much more than just a need to "pet." You're watching a 15,000 year old domestication instinct fire on all cylinders.

The foundational code of human civilization is a simple query: "Is this animal an immediate threat? No? Okay, let's see if it wants to be friends." It's a risky process with a long history of trial and error, but it's how we ended up with dogs.

And sometimes, it's how a hawk gets a drink on a hot day.

My electric circuits professor used to have a pet falcon like that. She would feed it and let it perch on herself during breaks. :ohhh:



I remember she would bring it to campus and it would terrorize the local squirrels while waiting for her to finish a lecture. :pachaha:
