Hi guys! Recently, I have noticed a behavior that keeps popping up in Paarthurnax. It seems now, every time im by the cage and speak for a small while, he peeks out, leaning about 2 inches of his neck out to see whats going on. My guess is that he knows now that i'm connected with feeding time, and this is his way of seeing if he gets fed, but has anyone else expected this? Haven't had much time to do research on the subject, but I was mainly curious if this has happened with other keepers. While he's peeking out, he also has never struck (i've picked him up and handled while he was doing this, acted like normal), so I'm getting the idea that feeding mode isn't completely turned on until he smells the rat, and just knows i'm the one who brings it (feed me, peasant!).
