At the same time, he likes it when trees drop little pieces of fruit or seeds, like mesquite beans or pine cones. So on windy days sometimes he gets into a loop with a tree where he
* stiffens up and barks at a tree for shaking its leaves
* cautiously approaches the tree, sometimes growling
* snatches something the tree has just dropped and runs away with it
* runs around in circles with the tree debris, pausing and play bowing wvery now and then, batting it around with his paws, etc.
* ... cautiously approaches the tree again
and so on, where he gradually gets bolder and more casual about approaching the rustling, swaying tree on each iteration.(He's pretty suspicious of wind-related movement generally— he'll also yell at flags and banners sometimes.)
