Dove Coo-ing

[absolutgyrl]

So what does it mean when they coo like doves?

Thanks - D

What are your pigs doing when they coo? I'm pretty sure it means they are contented, although I'm not convinced I have heard it before from any of my lot.

Is it more like a purr sound? I'm not sure what you are referring to as I've never heard my girls make a cooing sound.

If you mean purring, like Ly stated, I believe it means that they're happy.

I was not sure what you meant earlier, but when giving veggies to my crew this evening, I heard a pigeon like cooing! It was familiar, they do it all the time, I just forgot. But I am honestly not sure what it means. The one that was doing it seemed to be sulking though, walking away from the veggie pile after being rebuffed by the horrible dominant pig! I could be wrong though, it was either a sulking noise, or being content or excited at having veggies.

Caramel coos. I thought it sounded a lot like a dove myself when I first heard him do it. I assume he's excited that I'm coming in with veggies because the only time I hear it is when Percy starts wheeking his silly head off.
