My Ostrich

Now and then, my big boy, Renn, likes to relax with his head under the bed. This is a recent development but doesn’t seem to be connected with any discernible change in either Renn or the environment. I’m pretty sure he isn’t looking for anything under the bed, and when I speak to him about it, he surfaces happily, clearly untroubled by indigestion or nausea. When I peer under the bedspread from the other side, I observe that he is fully awake, and not trying to sleep, which he prefers to do on top of the bed, not under it. He doesn’t do this often, so it likely is not actually connected to meals. It may be that he likes the acoustics that he hears in this spot. It may be a smell that appeals to him. Or it may be that he’s messing with me. It’s probably the last.
