The flip of the tail and position are all indicators of Llama communication. Ears, head and neck position all play an important part of understanding the language of Llamas. Watch their interaction with each other. Placement of their head and neck as a heated argument erupts over pecking order or a tasty treat. Everything has a meaning, quite deliberate in its presentation to another Llama or human. My favourite of course is the lowering of the head and dreamy eyes when being brushed and pampered. My most precious body statement.

They also have a very distinctive vocal vocabulary that is a defining commentary on their emotions. A unique call if alarming the herd to something disturbing, humming to their newborn, clucking to a new herd member and/or to a suitor in the next field. Everything has a meaning.
