Is this Binkying? (Video)

My bunny, binkying! ?

^^^^ Simple yes or no is fine; this is my girl bunny Sirius!  Is she binkying here?  (there’s a link to a video of her in the text above) I’m a new rabbit owner, and I was just worried haha.  I don’t know what to look for.  She hops, suddenly moves and jumps, and runs.  Sometimes she runs so fast that she will knock into the wall, Lol.  It doesn’t seem to phase her though; she goes right back to running around.  She also does head shakes.  I was just worried she had ear mites or something by how she shakes her head when she does this? 
I’m just a really anxious person and I worry lol..  Please and thank you for your help!

That was cute.
She did some little binkies in there. When they go straight up in the air like that, we sometimes call it a popcorn binky (like guinea pigs “popcorning”). If you see her doing little head shakes it head toss during this playful time, it’s probably like a “head binky”.
If you put a mat/carpet down in the area while she’s like this, I think you’ll see her go crazy.

Thank you!  I just worry, I wanted to be sure haha.

Hahahaha I always love to see some bunny binkies

I agree with Jersey.. if you put a blanket down she could get a running start! Then she’s on to Olympic binkies! lol

We’re going to be carpeting that room soon enough.(: Just some cheap stick down tile pieces.  Not the fluffy kind.  So that should be great for her!  Would either of you two mind helping me with my litter training thread and questions now?  I’m having the roughest time with that!   Here it is <—– It's been so hard to litter train her….  Need all the help I can get lol

Yes, this is her binkying It’s funny Sirius looks like a dark haired version of my Nala I think the reason why she might fumble a little as she starts running (which I have seen some people call doing a Bunny 500) is probably just her having a hard time moving on the floor which is totally normal and you said you’re getting the room carpeted anyways. My bunny does the same thing when she’s exploring a room in the house, I like to think of it as her way of saying she’s excited to look around

I love all of it.  It’s endlessly amusing.  I could never get used to it; it’ll never Not make me snicker!  Lol.

She gets SO hyper as she’s running around like this, lol.  It goes on for like a half an hour, with only very short pauses in between!  So funny.
