The keet is constantly communicating with me through chirping - from the moment I say good morning to it, till the time the sun goes down. I have come to recognise some of its keet language and here are a few sounds I think I have managed to translate:
1. The sound it makes most often of all is...
Hello Everyone!
My flock is about 6-7 weeks old now. I have introduced them outside to their permanent home. Everything seems to be going good so far, except a couple of concerns.
They will not go inside the coop by themselves at night. I know its clean, so possbile bugs, pest, etc. are not an...
I've been watching my one and a half week old Japanese quail in the brooder and they've been making some interesting noises. I'll try to enumerate each different one:
Normal chirping noise. It's low amplitude and repetitive. They chirp more often when there's extra food / water or the lights...
Hi all, we had a young-seeming peacock arrive on our doorstep in October. Have no idea where the lonely guy came from but he's taken up residence here now. (We are semi-rural but have no outdoor animals ourselves.)
He makes no noise when eating except when I feed him dried worms - then he peeps...
I have 3 silkies, two of which were introduced a few days ago. The two new ones keep making noises that sound distressed, but I can't figure out what they're distressed about other than moving to a new home :/ Can anyone identify these noises?

1. Sometimes our chickens will make a crrrrrrrn noise while staring intently into space. At first we thought it was a predator warning, but when we check...
Hi! I have an assorted flock of ducks, one of which is a muscovy. She is my favorite, but she has some weird behaviors that I don't notice in the others. She likes to follow humans around, and will eat out of the hand, unlike her brethren. If I step out of the house, and she sees me from the...
I have 2 male king quail (which the internet tells me are also called chinese painted quail) who live in with my budgerigars in an aviary outside. I haven't had quail before, and I've had them maybe 6 months, something like that (I'm hopeless at time - long enough where they are settled in, not...
Hi guys!
So I've had four two-year-old chickens for about two weeks now and just have some general questions about their looks/behaviors. All four are red sex-link hens.
Okay, so the first thing I've noticed/questions is some missing feathers on only one hen's lower neck/upper breast region...
