They are extremely intelligent, but they boast quite an independent side to their natures. If allowed, an Aby would spend as much time exploring the great outdoors as they can. With this said, they are also very affectionate and love nothing more than being with their owners. One of their favourite pass times is head butting people they love as a way of showing their feelings.
