    Psiew! is said when calling the cat, and when putting him out, we say, scut! scut! Also there are foul on my farm, such as, hens, ducks, geese, and a turkey. Chuch! chuch! is said when calling hens. When calling ducks we say, Fuueet! Fuueet!, and when driving them away we say slac! slac! When calling the turkey, biadh! biadh! is said. When calling the goat we say miney! miney!
