The involuntary blurting out of animal noises. Yes, we have a word for this.

She has an excuse, though--she's two years old. :-)

In a two-year old, it's cute as a button. In reesetee, it's...troubling...

So you've been talking to the people who live with me, have you? At least I'm species-appropriate. I never bark at them, for example.

What kind of birds do you have, rt? Or are these transient birds you're talking about? Can you give an example of a bird noise you make frequently?

Aha! Not only should this word go on reesetee's "It Has a Name??" list, but I have a new entry for "What Is a Reesetee, Anyhow?"!! A banner page!

I keep doing this to myself, don't I? ;->
Yarb, I'd be more than happy to give an example of a bird noise I make frequently--but since this isn't Soundie, I'm afraid I can't see my way to it. Also, you may want to follow skipvia's advice....

A guy worked at an ice cream shop I liked to go to who had Tourette's and barked like a wounded dog when people came into the shop. o___O

I can whistle some bird songs, especially mountain Chickadees and lesser Goldfinches. But I always say "quack" to Crows, Steller's and Scrub Jays...just to piss 'em off! Oh, and mooing at cows, and calling all dogs "Ralph" is always fun! "Hey, Ralph! Howzit?" :oP

In sibling strife when Joy meant
to cause bro' Kent annoyment,
did she, for her enjoyment,
place into her employment
oinks and grunts, a ploy meant
to tease that little boy Kent
through ceaseless loud aboiement.
To be corrected by Laurent--
It's really pronounced aboiement.
