We can get an idea of how happy an animal is by observing what they do.
Ferrets chirp when they are having a good time, horses will point their ears towards you and have a relaxed mouth, and parrots sing, whistle, or make a grinding, purring sound with their beak.
Play is one of the more reliable and universal ways to tell if a creature is content. Playful animals will jump into the air, pounce, kick their feet up while they run, and generally be more energetic than they need to be.
But for a more visual explanation, there's the Instagram account The Snuggle Is Real. It shares wholesome photos of both wild and domestic animals living the good life and has made quite a few new posts since our last publication on it, so we thought we can't let you fall behind on its content.

I disagree (although I didn't downvote you). I think that's exactly what the downvote button is for, to show you disagree with something. I usually don't continue to downvote if they're already at the 'this comment is hidden' stage though.
