clucking...

[Username]

So my boys are getting more and more vocal with us they are so sweet and so funny!

Tonight i gave them a new chew toy and they have been popcorning & pikachu even put it in his mouth and ran around with it!

My son and husband were feeding them veggies not long after & then not long after that, pikachu began "clucking". Its hard to explain but it sounds like clucking...almost like squirrels sound when talking to each other. Not like chickens either but rather a sound like some people use to call horses? He hasnt got food stuck on his throat as he is eating his pellets and drinking water fine as i type this.

He seems very happy actually and maybe this clucking is another way of wheeking? Lol

Some pigs will chirp/sing- they sound similar to birds or squirrels. It's supposed to be uncommon but it does happen. I've heard one of my pigs do it one time (and I've had them almost four years!) Not quite sure what it means but I have heard it!

I have a clucker/chirper, my new boar Billy chirps when he is tired and is lying down near to Rodney. Its a very happy sound & he's quite loud with it.

Only seems to be when he's chilling out... he was doing it alot last night in their playpen cos he tired himself out playing in a primark bag & sprawled out next to Rodney who was eating (as usual)... sounded like a little chick!

Its a very hard sound to describe!

All the examples I've ever heard or seen of the chirping are very bird-like, more than squirrel-like, but mine don't do it so not sure!

Could it be a purr? Supposedly they purr, so I'm always listening for a cat-like sound from mine, which I've never heard. I have, however, heard a sort of... chuttering noise from them when they're happy or playing. It sounds kind of like a teeth-chatter, but it isn't, and is a little slower and softer, so I tend to think of that as their "purr."

They make so many odd noises!

My Caramel clucks
It's just a little noise almost like a geiger counter, she does it when bimbling around in a happy mood
