Title: Purring
Post by: Penguin907 on April 29, 2025, 07:02:46 PM
When and why do you purr? Is it an early morning subtle hen thing or what? Never heard one do it in person.

Purring is contentment call usually.

Birds will purr at other birds, when they get to close, when feeding..

Penguin, here is a video of Live turkeys feeding.  This gives you some Great purring, clucks, whines and whistles as these birds Tear up this ground.  Turkeys use purring when they are calm and content (No danger here) call.  When you have a gobbler just out of gun range, a soft purr or two will normally get him to finish.  Turn up the volume when you watch it.
