Basenjis are perpetual two year olds. If your attention is on anything that is not them, they feel the need to bring you back to "reality". A Basenji considers himself/herself the center of your universe and expects to be treated accordingly, the exception being when they are getting into mischief and don't want you to know about it. Otherwise your undivided attention is expected, and demanded, especially if it is obvious that something else is foremost in your thoughts. As the nominal owner (otherwise known as "staff") of a Basenji, you are expected to know that! 😉
Basenji Behaviour
-
I have never heard of this kind of behavior and none of my references
mentions it, but that does not necessarily mean it cannot happen. Generally the ground is cold and birds, like other creatures, need to keep their extremities
warm, so heads and necks are usually tucked in rather than spread out to
preserve warmth.
