  1. Calls for Animals

    Share Share Post
    Animals usually come for the name which you call to them. When we are putting out the cousin the morning we say "Tche". To the calf we say "Sugie". The goat is called "Panny", the sheep is called "Bess". The pig comes when we say "Hursh". To the hens we say "chuck" and to the birds we say, "Birdie". The turkeys come when we say "Peep Peep" and to the geese we say "goosie". We say to the ducks "tweet "tweet".
