theory on chirping
Whoa là! I'm impressed - that really is a chirp. I call Elvis' vocalizing, chirping because it is rhythmic and pulsating, but much more regular and less musical than this sound. He usually does it when on our laps or shoulder or behind us on the back of the chair - sort of a " happy to be here" sound.
Kara has an exceptional pig. Every pig here that chirps, you have to -- oh so carefully -- sneak up on them just to see who is doing it. And they usually catch you and stop.
And of course, this is USUALLY, but not always between 3 and 4 am. I've been known to crawl in the pig room on my hands and knees ever so quietly in the dark in the middle of the night just to try to figure out who the culprit is.

Of course she is exceptional! She thinks she is beautiful in every way!
I had to sneak up on Job. When he first started it, I crept out of bed and tiptoed into the living room. I had narrowed it down to one particular corner when a guinea pig was startled by me, jumped, and scared everyone so the chirping stopped.
I went back to bed and it started and woke me again. This time I made it all the way to the center of the room and saw Job and Meg staring at eachother through the bars. I thought the sound came from Meg, so I picked her up and was holding her in the kitchen when the sound started again. Finally I was able to zero in on Job. Guess I didn't expect a boar to be doing it.

We have Ginger on video in the middle of the day. She could have cared less that we were taping her. I wish there was an easy way to get it onto the computer. She looks so cute sitting there chirpping away.
She must be taking a break... I haven't heard her chrip in a week or so. It is possible, however, that we sleep through it.

My Maggie chirps from time to time, always in the middle of the night. Sasha, the newest sow, chirped for 15 minutes in the car, when we went to pick her up. It got to the point my son turned to me and asked if i could make her shut up. She's really loud and she doesn't care that we're around. You can open the cage, push her a bit, she'll stop for a second and get right back to it.
I seriously doubt they do it out of loneliness since none of my pigs live by themselves.

gp... God only knows!! Kirk says the file is HUGE!!! It's a digital camera. Seems like it should be kind of easy. For god's sake, he works for Adobe!!
Same problems we had with trying to get the piggie popping video on the computer. Maybe I'll mail the tape(s) to you!!
