[Gpdd] Behavior: Chirping vs. singing

[Deb Tabert]

Joey....If it sounds like you have a bird in the house, it's the chirping!
Last spring I remember wondering where the bird that got in the house was;
THEN I realized it was one of the pigs!  The pig song is different; it isn't
just a few chirps, it's a song's worth of them!  Don't know if this is
helpful; hope it is!

Sometimes the rest of the pigs "freeze" when a pig chirps (I believe in the
wild chirping is a warning mechanism), but most of the time they could have
cared less.  Whenever a pig chirps I check them to make sure they're OK (my
chirpers only did it in the middle of the night!).  Patches sung once only;
it was beautiful, and there will be no doubt in your mind when you hear it!
