bird onomatopeia

[(Anonymous)]

Oh FS, please help this ESL anon with a question a dictionary can't answer?

What sounds would you say penguins and baby penguins make? An adult penguin I'd go with "quack" like a duck but maybe I'm mistaken, and what about penguin chicks? chip, chitter, peep, something else?

Re: bird onomatopeia

[(Anonymous)]

From google:
"Different species make different noises. African, Humboldt, Magellanic and Galapagos penguins all make braying sounds (like a donkey) and each of these species has at some time been known as "Jackass" penguins as a result. Their chicks, in contrast, make a high pitched whistling noise to demand feeding. The Yellow-eyed penguin makes a trilling sound (not unlike the old "trim-phone"). The Chinstrap has a shrill, screaming voice, so loud that it is sometimes called the stone-cracker penguin. The King penguin makes a trumpeting sound."

I'm sure AYRT is capable of Googling, even though they're ESL. And than passage just described the sounds they make, but doesn't list out which onomatopoeias to use.

Re: bird onomatopeia

[(Anonymous)]

nayrt - But it makes the very cogent point that 1) different species of penguins have different calls so it depends on which one the OP wanted and 2) describing individual calls absolutely offers more ideas about what words to use:

braying
high pitched whistling
trilling
shrill, screaming
trumpeting

It directly answers OP's question of what sounds penguins make. How isn't that helpful?

Re: bird onomatopeia

[(Anonymous)]

those arent onomatopoeia

we dont say birds go "trumpet trumpet"

you may want to look up what an onomatopoeia is

Re: bird onomatopeia

[(Anonymous)]

OP didn't specifically say they HAD to be onomatopoeia. But you seem awfully determined to piss on someone's efforts to help...

Re: bird onomatopeia

I'd call the adults a squawk, croak, hoot.
The babies a squeak, chirp, peep.
