What do goats say?
AnneAnderson
favorite is the one with pictures of farm animals. I read the book saying things
like "the cow says moo!", etc. My husband and I are stuck on what the goat says!
Here are the animals in the book, and what they say in American-English:
Chicken: Bawk, bawk, ... (or cluck, cluck)
Pig: Oink, oink
Dog: Woof, woof (or bow wow)
Cat: Meow
Duck: Quack, quack
Donkey: Hee Haw
Cow: Moo!
Horse: Neigh
Goats: ???
Sheep: Baa, baa
Rooster: Cockadoodledoo!! (Alex's favorite!)
So, what does a goat say? What do these animals from other countries say??

Goats (American ones, anyway) say Maaa. But what I want to know is, what
do hippopotamuses say? How about flamingoes? Not that it matters. If
Daniel doesn't know the right sound, he'll make one up. A friend of mine
taught her 15-mo-old to scrunch up her nose at a picture of a bunny. Oh
yeah - how about guinea pigs? The inquiring mind of my son wants to know.

Guinea pigs make a distinctive gutteral squeak. I had a friend in
high school who could do it perfectly--I'm not nearly as talented.

Oliver also enjoys what fish say (they open & close their mouths silently)
and what squirrels say (that tsking sound I don't know how to write).
Other favourites:
Lions & tigers (roar)
Owls (Hoo-hoo)
Blue Jays (Thief!) or alternatively, Play ball! :-)
Monkeys (Ee-ee)
Snakes (Sssss)
What other animal sounds do people have?
Laura E. Floom
Yeah, but Sue can do a real authentic train whistle sound by blowing into
her hands. neat.
Anyway, for another animal sound, courtesy of my friends nephew:
What does a Beetle say?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This actually works better being said than written.

Hey, what about "bleat bleat"? That's what they say in
_Fiddle-I-Fee_. But the pig says "griffy-gruffy," the hen says
"chipsy-chopsy," and the goose says "swishy-swashy," so I'm not
sure I trust her. :-) Still, "bleat" seems reasonable.

Rabbits actually scream when frightened. Guinea pigs make a
very high pitched sound like "ree ree".
It's interesting that different languages attribute different sounds
to animals. I recall that a number of animal soundings are different
in French, but I forgot what they are.
What kind of sound does a giraffe make? ;-)

As a previous owner of guinea pigs, I know what they say. And they say
it every time you open the refrigerator. "weeeeet" "weeeeeeet"
"Weeeeet" "WEEEEEET" "*WEEEEET*" "***WEEEEEEEEET***"

I think goats say "bleat", too.
One animal-sounds book I wonder about: _The Noisy Animal Counting Book_
They have this at my son's daycare and the kids love it, as it shows
a small boy trying to go fishing, but there's a number of animals
making noises. The *frog* goes "GAAA--DUNK!", however. Whoever heard
a frog saying "GAA--DUNK!"?

We told Kevin that bunnies go Hop! and then we make the book or the

went to a local farm this weekend and they had two rabbits.
He was so cute - kept saying "Hi Hop".

Does the book specifically indicate that the frog says
"GAA--DUNK"? Because that's more or less the sound a startled
frog makes when entering the water...

Animals *definitely* speak different languages in different
countries! Here's the dutch animal language (from Holland
that is):
Chicken: tok, tok
Pig: knor, knor
Dog: waf waf (or woef woef)
Cat: miauw
Duck: kwak, kwak
Donkey: i-a
Cow: boe
Sheep: mee or beh
Rooster: kukelku

It must depend on the frog. That sounds like a great transcription
of what I've heard some very loud frogs say! Less emphasis on the
first syllable, though. I've also heard a very shrill "peep-peep-peep-
peep", from a completely different species.
Will has the video 'Farm Animals (up close and very personal)'. The donkey
on that video was a revelation to me (the first syllable of "hee-haw"
is said on the in-breath, hoarsely). The turkey was a surprise, too--
the way most folks say "gobble-gobble" bears no resemblance to what
I hear on the tape, although you can say it much more realistically.
(This is a really great tape!)
Earlier in this thread someone mentioned what animals say in other
languages. In French, roosters say "co-cu-REE-co". That's a lot closer
to what I've heard from roosters than "cock-a-doodle-doo" ever could
be.
Peter Spier's book "Gobble Growl Grunt" has pages of nothing but animals
making their sounds. It ends with a page of animals that make no sounds
at all, such as giraffes, spiders, and tortoises. (Hint: the only way to
survive Spier's books is to pronounce only what the child actually points
to, instead of trying to read everything. Otherwise you just get
exhausted.)

In the Netherlands our animals say:
Chicken: Tok tok
Pig: Knor knor
Dog: Woef woef (sounds like woof)
Cat: Miauw (sounds like miauw)
Duck: Kwak, kwak
Donkey: Ia (sounds like meow)
Cow: Boeh (sounds like booh)
Horse: Hihihihi (sounds like hee hee hee hee)
Goats: Beh, beh
Sheep: Beh, beh
Rooster: Kukeleku
Since we play this game with our son we are wondering about the
sounds of animals like giraffes, zebra's, hedgehogs, crocodiles,
rabbits, etc. Any one knowing these or other less trivial animal
sounds?
Karen.

let's try with French animals:
chicken: cot cot codek (well, roughly)
dog: ouha ouha
cat: miaou
duck: coin coin
donkey: hi-han
cow: meuh meuh
goats/sheep: beeeh beeeeh
horse: speak Dutch without accent :-)
now I have to get a dictionary to figure out what a rooster is....

Just what *does* a giraffe say? or a fishie? or a chair? Grace is very
insistent and is not happy when I say "I don't know" or try to make up a sound.
She does like it when I put my hands on either side of my face, purse my lips
and try to look like a fish :-) She thinks it's quite funny indeed!
Now, we play a new game on the way home...
She says "I'm hungry!"
I say "Hoooow about some lizard lips (or puppy dog tails, or whatever) for
supper."
Grace says "I like lizard lips (or puppy dog tails or whatever)!"
We think it's fun :-)

saying "knee" while laughing) and snorting (blow through
