Dance-talking with the Colorful Apes

I am in someone else’s house and look out the window and see what I think is a big fluffy, colorful bird at the bird feeder. I am amazed at the colors—blue, green, rust orange. I tell the others to look too. My view is obstructed by a bush so I psychically move the bush out of the way so I can see the “bird” better but when I do I see that it is actually the head of a primate. There is a mother and baby on a small tree or post (what I thought was the bird feeder) and they are some kind of rare and special colorful ape. Then my husband is out there with them and begins communicating with them through “dance moves”. There is a male ape too. My husband is trying to earn acceptance into their tribe and he is showing respect and humility by repeating the movements they make except he doesn’t copy them exactly. Then the ape repeats what my husband did but with slight variations. In this way the dance and their communications are evolving. I watch, fascinated. Then I see that there is a large camping tent nearby for the apes. They are not indigenous to this area but are living here in the tent temporarily. I don’t totally understand what/who they are or why they are here but I sense they are special and deserve honor and respect. I suspect they are endangered.
