Allays lose their idle animation once they start moving
The Bug
Allays will stop moving their arms and bobbing up and down once they start moving. Relogging will bring their idle animation back
How to Reproduce:
- Summon an allay with NoAI, be careful not to move it
/summon minecraft:allay ~1 ~ ~ {NoAI:1b}
- Notice how it is bobbing up and down while also moving its arms
- Push the allay and notice how it has suddenly stopped that animation
Expected Behaviour
Even when moved, the allay would still be bobbing up and down and moving its arms

On Bedrock edition, when Allays move around they have a special animation when in motion, where they lean forward, and if not holding an item, their arms tilt backwards. It seems this animation is not in the Java edition.
If it is, it may be not appearing because of MC-249838, though I'm unsure if that's the definite cause.

Can confirm
Confirmed with 22w14a
Still in 22w15a
