Then there was Fred and Betty ( guinea pigs)!. We had a Cairn too. He was a great little dog. Guinea pigs make noise too, squeaky ones though.

The tortoise's owner hasn't been to the forum in three years, so unless someone else knows, I think you're unlikely to get an answer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMON GABRIELOW Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Yes, the Carin [Sparky] sort of made singing noises and a sort of waa waa' mouth movements [ only way can be described] It may well have been a musical reversion to his Scottish ancestry! [bagpipers]..When i used to play music in my room, in those days, he used to come in and wait patiently to be taken for his walk. [ maybe his noises were a sort of accompaniment? [but they were never done at the same time] as my attempts though! 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean concertinas were referred to as a constant screamer? I looked it up online and there has been someone with a user name of constant screamer on this forum in the last 10 years or so. Their posts are hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
