For instance, cats are known to like the slow blink as it shows a trust that the other person doesn't need to watched constantly.

What does your species do that is the equivalent?

Not exactly the same, but I have a creature whose head is like a mushroom tree (inspired by the Hen of the Woods mushrooms). Birds nest in the creatures head, and individuals exchange birds as a sign of trust, friendship, or romance.
