Do animals talk?

[Kingetter]

Cows have regional accents like humans, language specialists have confirmed.

So what do folk think Hielan Coos sound like compared to other cattle?

[Billy Boy]

[Countryman]

Think what they could tell = carefull what you say to the cat.

My dog growly speaks to me in the morning or when i say to her to talk to me.
I know i should get out more:lol:

[Kingetter]

But does the dog have an accent?

[paris]

My parrot talks to me ! often says things i dont even say and its definitely not a Linc's accent, but not from kent either. He was only a baby when we got him so has had no other contact with anyone else . weird ! jan x

[Kingetter]

"no other contact with anyone else" that you know of - but what happens when you aren't there?

[cuddlepop]

Its a Glasgow ,Skye accent she has it just depends where she is.Come to think of it there's another twang in there that could be Caithnessian.lol:lol:

It is well known amongst birdwatchers that birds can have regional variations on the main song and calls of their species.

Or worse - a Mynah Bird!

Our Dog Brodie talks - But being English imports, we are having trouble with his accent - is it "WOOF" or "WUFF" ?

[Kingetter]

Big dog/small dog? May make a difference.

[Carlo Gambino]

My dog can speak to me, when she wants out she goes "oowwt" which is rather funny, it cheers me up first thing in the morning

[Kingetter]

That sounds like Esther Rantzen's "sausages" dog!

[Carlo Gambino]

She also calls me ralph, I tell her "call me carlo" but she insists & says "Ralph,Ralph"

I recently read an article that said dolphins are thought to gossip. Among the sounds each dolphin makes is a sequence of sounds that is always unique to each individual, so it's probably that dolphin's name. When two dolphins converse they will use each others' names. Sometimes, but only if a third dolphin is nowhere near, they will use a third name, so the people studying them reckon they're talking *about* the other one!

Dolphins are reckoned to be very very intelligent aren't they?
