Pigeon Noise From New Piggies

[Danny]

Hi people.
Me and my fiancée recently got x2 male piggies and they have settled in nicely and we hold them daily. My question is every now and then when stroking one of them he makes a noise like a pigeon, is this normal?

Also one of our Piggies is quite shy and when you hold him he always runs up to your neck and kind of just lays there. Do you think this is him getting comfy or are we scaring him?

Here you can see how he always end laying. Is this him scared or just relaxing? if we put him elsewhere on us he just runs to the same spot

Hi there. Welcome to the forum. The noise you describe is a content noise. Your piggy is chatting away to you. This link explains about guinea pig sounds,

Your piggy is climbing up to your neck as he feels safe there. The picture of him lying down is normal and nothing to worry about.
