OMG I think I've just had my first experience of the mysterious 'guinea pig song'. Boris was sitting all chilled out in his cage with Betty and Babs when suddenly I heard what can only be described as whistling. I've never heard that noise before from any of the piggies. It sounded really beautiful and me and the other pigs sat and listened to him for about 3 minutes. Do you think it could've been the guinea pig song?

27/04: An update for you...last night I was cleaning the piggies out and singing along loudly to my best of musicals CD (don't laugh hehe) and when it came to the Lion King - Can you Feel the Love Tonight, Boris started to pipe up with the guinea pig song and we did a duet - wow! There's no stopping the boy now ;D
 
Re: Boris has been singing

WOW you luck thing, yep that'll be it O0
I'm sure there's a thread on here where somebody recorded it, if you can't find it try guinealynx cause they have some great recordings on there, also youtube has also. It's the most amazing sound, i had Duke on my knee and let him listen to it one time, he went very quiet and then talked back :smitten:
 
Re: Boris has been singing

I have 2 guineas that "sing" - all my guineas live in and at about 4am last night they decided to have a sing song for about 10 minutes! My initial thought when I woke up was oh no there's a trapped bird in the house and then I realised it was either Cookie or Willow or even both of them so I just lay in bed listening to them. It was lovely!

Glynis - I listened to the examples on YouTube and it was exactly the same - yay I have definitely heard the guinea pig song for the first time :)
 
Re: Boris has been singing

Lucky, I have heard a range of sounds but I don't think I have ever heard the guinea pig song. :(
 
Re: Boris has been singing

Aww is could've been :) Song sounds more like a bird singing - a chirruping sound. Well for me anyway
 
Re: Boris has been singing

its amazing isn't it def like a bird whistling and chirruping I've heard it about 5 times now, it amazes me how the other all stop and dont move while its going on, mind you I dont move in case it stops as well

Re: Boris has been singing

My sow Chess did that, at first I didn't know what it was and it scared me cos it was the middle of the night at it was dark D= but I realised what it was and it totally tranced me 0:)
 
Have updated this in the first post - more singing episodes from Boris!
 
I heard Zag do this once. She scared me when she did though as at first I didn't know what she doing. She did it one morning when I was cleaning out her cage, she just sat in the entrance to the bedroom singing away with this glazed look on her face, she was so loud my bf could hear her upstairs!

The funny thing was that a few nights later I heard a bird outside making an identical noise to Zag which made me wonder if Zag might of been trying to copy the bird? I don't know if guineas do things like?
