Pig singing

[Justin]

I have heard that a pig sings, although extremely rarely.

I thought that was a bit of exaggeration of the occasional long wheeking.

Today, after the all day labor of re-designing my cage, I was exhausted and laying down on couch. Then I heard strange bird singing from somewhere close.

At first, I couldn't even guess that it was from the cage. But my wife and daughter were already in front of the cage watching Skeeter with disbelief.

I don't understand how a guinea pig can sing a such beautiful song. By "song" i mean a true melody with chord and rhythm, that you rarely hear from a morning bird.

He had been singing for about two to three minutes. We (both human and other pigs) all listened without making noise. Then everything went back to normal.

Wow. You are super lucky to hear that! I know that some piggies can make a sound, kind of like a bird chirping. I have heard a sound clip of a piggie making the chirping noise, but never singing! No one realy knows what it means when they do that. Count yourself blessed!

Neato! You have a special pig!

I have a whole herd of chirpers (usually they get going around 2-4 in the morning) but no singers, so I am jealous. I think.

Sounds to me your piggy loved the new set up. I haven't heard mine sing. maybe one day. Maybe I should put them closer to my parakeets and they can teach them to sing

Our TeeJay likes to do her singing in the wee hours of the morning.

I usually have to get up and get her a snack to munch on to snap her out of it so we can get back to sleep!

It is a beautiful sound though. Some people with chirpers think it's annoying, but we think it's adorable (even though we lose sleep because of it)!
