Guinea pigs have a variety of vocalizations, including:
* Wheeking: A high-pitched sound often used to call for food or attention.
* Chirping: A softer sound often made when they are happy or content.
* Whistling: A loud, high-pitched sound that can be a sign of fear or excitement.
* Grunting: A low, guttural sound that can be a sign of discomfort or pain.
* Purring: A soft, rumbling sound that is often made when they are relaxed or being petted.
If your guinea pig is making a noise that sounds like a pigeon, it's important to take them to the vet to rule out any underlying health issues.
