Couple Cooking: the Scared Bunny

A has referenced that B sits on the front porch, blames A for burning shit, and at one point, frightened said Bunny away while criticizing A's cooking propensities in a rather loud voice and with hand gestures. (It could have been either A or B laughing, but let's stick with the theme of this essay.)
A was sad about the bunny running away, but held A's own in re burning shit, argued just as though A might be some damn trial lawyer making a final argument to a jury or something.
Bunnies in the yard come early morning, and later in the afternoon when the sun is going down. It is rare to get any photo. A has said they come up to the porch within 10 to 15 ft. This late afternoon, A got a little video of the Bunny at about 15 ft. from A and B on the porch. The Bunny didn't flinch when B arose from the chair, opened the door, entered the house, then returned to the porch. A kept up a conversation with Bunny,a conversation with A chatting, Bunny occasionally staring at A. (Absolutely NO gripe with A's cooking was involved.)
Anyway, the Bunny is surrounded by a Confederate Rose, pintas, duranthas, lantanas, a lagustrum, plumerias, morning glories, and Mexican petunias.
I may have mentioned the yard is like a botanical garden.
Anymore, an animal habitat, too.
No shit was burned in the making of this video.
Hell yeah.
(Only 9 seconds, my friends. Bunnies get around.)

Pleasantry

the Bunny was at one point no more than 8 feet from us, but I couldn't get my phone set for the video until Bunny hopped farther away.
At any rate, they are around, under my home, and they are accustomed to the home and human noise and movement. They munch grass and just look at me. They will turn their backs, then just relax. No fear.
I have previously mentioned my whole damn yard is really, really swamped with enormous plants that grew from little 4 inch tall plant purchases. What you see in the background is what I tried to show in a recent
zoom meeting. It is more or less like that everywhere within my yard fence.

with the night owls, lol! I fade early but I rise early. Lovin’ the bunny talk. We have lots of bunnies here but not the plant growth! Living in the high desert requires lots of watering! Wouldn’t want your bugs, though!

@Raggedy Ann We haz um!
And most of them bite or sting.
We have had tons of butterflies and hummingbirds this summer. It has been beautiful, and they are still around in full force.

What kind of “conversation” does one have with a bunny?

@Anja Geitz it is one side verbal. "I luv you, Bunny!" Bunny replies, body language, "I luv you right back, and thanks for letting me eat this grass." An intelligent exchange most of the time unavailable between two humans.
I intend to ask my vet what I might do for their food during winter.
