[Gpdd] [CARE] <chirping>

[Janneke Staaks]

As far as i know my yaya chirped a few times always during the day, just 
like Zag. I don't know why she did it. she was about six months old, she did 
it a few times, also when mieke was present, and then stopped altogether. I 
was just sitting on the floor and she was underneath the table.
Maybe I should share how the dutch think about chirping. we call it 'waken' 
which is freely translated into 'guarding'. They say that some guinea pigs 
make this sound when there's a danger for the group. An account that I heard 
was from someone who would always go outside when she heard one of her pigs 
chirping (pigs lived outside) because this would usually mean that there was 
some danger like a cat or a burglar or just a weird sound. Someone else 
hated it when one of her pigs chirped because usually this meant that one of 
her other pigs woukl die. But I also heard accounts with pigs chirping for 
no apparent reason whatsoever. I don't know why they do it.
