 Otter This World ♡ Catpurrccino ♡ Slotherin ♡ Pandamonium
Much like the students were now all wandering around, Hady continued to do the same. She liked to keep moving around during lessons such as these where the students were looking around for the creatures they would be interacting with. ”That's a very good answer, yes. Sometimes sitting down and remaining calm is the best approach when you want to befriend a new creature. Having some food on hand is always helpful too." She smiled softly at Aryan knowing that he very likely used both of those methods in gathering his own young mooncalf trust.
Now Maria has a few ideas which earned a smile and a nod of agreement from this professor. "Yes, it is always best to try to establish some trust first before going up to any creature, food will help with that. Typically hippogriffs are the ones that prefer being bowed to but some others do like it as well. For Mooncalves, bowing isn't necessary. You'll always want to be very gentle when grooming a mooncalf so they don't run off on you.
Hady paused her wanderings when another hand was in the air. "All good ideas. Letting them take their time and come to you when they are ready is always a nice option. It lets them know that they can trust you." Desiree's answer about having patients was going to come in handy very soon.
Food appeared to be the common answer as expected. "Correct. Mooncalf do enjoy pellets a great deal and they can be used for many purposes such as befriending them. Would pellets prove to be useful to Hooper and the other students when they move on into the activity?
Paton smiled softly at Nadia's answer. "Yes, you could always give dancing along with them a try but remember to be careful not to scare them while doing so." So now yelling or running around at all.
A look around told her that there were no more hands in the air and they were all ready to move on. "Excellent answers everyone. Food is definitely a very good way to earn the trust of most creatures including Mooncalves. They do have a liking for pellets, there are colored bins filled with pellets that you may take to offer to the mooncalf. Removing her wand from its holster and giving it a silent wave revealed many small bin-like containers placed throughout the area for all the students.
"For the first part of our activity you'll be locating and befriending a mooncalf. Now you can do this however you like, offering them pellets, dancing and singing, sitting quietly and waiting for them to come to you. It's all up to you how you gain its trust. They just needed to find a way to do so. "You're welcome to work alone or in small groups. Keep in mind that they are very shy when you are looking for them.
With a small nod and a gentle gesture of her hand to indicate that they could all go on their searches now, Hady continued to walk around. The pastures were still quiet, so where were those mooncalf hiding?
OOC: Time to befriend some mooncalf! The students can work along or in small groups to gain the trust of a Mooncalf or two however they choose!
