| - Home Declaration is a Yukkuri behavior, mostly seen in Gutter Trash and Wild Yukkuris, in which a single yukkuri or a family of yukkuris will proclaim its ownership of a den, or even a human house. During a home declaration, usually an adult yukkuri will proclaim ownership of a new "Easy Place"; if its a parent yukkuri, the koyukkuri will actively cheer their parent, even if their size prevents them from taking a more active stance.

| - Home Declaration is a Yukkuri behavior, mostly seen in Gutter Trash and Wild Yukkuris, in which a single yukkuri or a family of yukkuris will proclaim its ownership of a den, or even a human house. During a home declaration, usually an adult yukkuri will proclaim ownership of a new "Easy Place"; if its a parent yukkuri, the koyukkuri will actively cheer their parent, even if their size prevents them from taking a more active stance. The home declaration serves two main purposes; the first, and the most obvious, is a claim of ownership about an "Easy Place", an attempt to settle once and for all every possible complaint. The second is a function of the yukkuri concept of easiness. yukkuri will brag about its possession of an "Easy Place" to imply that, being "Easier" than its brethren, it was able to secure for itself and its family a better status, a better house, and better food. While Pet Yukkuri are a domesticated group, owners will note that younger pets will give a home declaration. Though it's a way to express amazement and gratitude for being given a part of its "Mister Human" house all for itself.
