Talks to animals: My life among the chickens. Friday, August 21, 2009. Notice the similarity with the chicken call. Short repetitive notes followed by a long note of higher pitch. Star, being a pheasant still responds to the chicken alarm calls, as the chickens respond to hers. I like to call in "International ground bird language". Posted by Miya (Chatty bird".

Talks to animals: My life among the chickens. Monday, December 21, 2009. Leopard Seal at Taronga Zoo. Luckily, this one seems rather curious and non-threatening. Her species is large enough that maybe one day, someone will put a gps tracking device and web cam on them, and finally we may know more about where these solitary animals go, and how they partition their time among different geographical locations. Posted by Miya (Chatty bird". Elephants at Taronga Zoo. Luk Chai playing by the water. Males will...

Talks to animals: My life among the chickens: May 2011
http://talkstoanimals.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Talks to animals: My life among the chickens. Sunday, May 1, 2011. This story is dedicated to Una Hopalong- a one-legged hen that lived across the street in a macnut orchard. She was quite a character, and the lesson that she gave to me is of unyielding bravery, persistence and kindness. She died recently, quietly and in the sun, after taking a long look at the life around her, and finally, unyielding Una yielded her life to this world. But Una tried and tried to raise chicks. She made many nests and...

Talks to animals: My life among the chickens. Thursday, August 19, 2010. New cast of characters: Aussie chicks. Clucks from City Chicks. It has been a while since I have written a blog, but here I am with a new cast of characters. We now have two urban dwelling chickens, Calliope and Persephone, two city chicks with entirely different backgrounds. Persephone was a bright student, and she quickly learned the proper care and maintenance of her mentor. She avoided Calliope at most opportunities while wa...

Talks to animals: My life among the chickens. Saturday, September 12, 2009. When we first brought home Angelica, Star would run after her and peck her repeatedly. I had to keep Angelica in her own enclosure, but now that Star has asserted her dominance, her and Angelica are best buds. They sleep next to each other, they forage near each other and they sit together and rest together. It is all rather sweet. Posted by Miya (Chatty bird". Friday, September 11, 2009.

Isn’t it nice to know that your ideas are not so crazy, and indeed somebody has studied them? Well I always thought that communication and language has its basis in common sounds that reflected emotional states. Anger- sharp and/ or low sounds. Happy- singsong or higher pitches. Confusion- high sound increasing in pitch.

They were such silly beasts! A few days later, at 25 days of age, Rumby and her brothers had left the safety of the nest for the big broad branches of the nest tree. From high in the branches they cried for food and from their high spot in the tree they were better able to watch the activity around them.
