One of my frogs is .... barking?

[rcollege]

My bet goes on the American Green. I thought there was an angry squirrel outside...it was my American Green. Their pitch may change with each call...now they are a little higher than before...sometimes a yapping dog, other times a goose going through peuberty. So congratulations on making a frog happy enough to call
Try misting the tank...they often call right after misting...or in my case during fogging. Also look at their throats right after calling...the one with the inflated or semi inflated throat will be the one that was calling.
I have 2 American Green tree frogs...I thought one was a male and another a female until both were calling.
The gray I have has a whole different sound.

my males pitch gets higher as he runs out of gas its pretty funny. i only just saw which one was calling when i was in their viv messing around. suprised me cuz he always stopped when i went around.

Ok. So I think it isn't Azy. I was hearing it all morning so I sorta made her come out but her throat wasn't inflated looking at all. But when I dug Percy out of "her" hideout HIS throat was semi inflated. So instead of a Percephone I have a Percyus like I wanted in the first place. X3

And this time it DID sound more like a goose or a duck. Which sorta sucks cuse I have a rational-irrational fear of geese (a few years ago I was attacked by one at school). It would explain the nightmare I had about geese a few days ago, though. If I was partially awake enough to hear it it might have triggered the memory. But I still love my baby even if he sounds like an evil little monster.

Hahahahha I have never heard of someone to be afraid of geese. I hope Percy helps you overcome your fear ! ;D

Congratulations on having a boy then?

Geese are nasty. Never get anywhere near the young of a Canada Goose, the adults will charge you, hissing and snapping. I've heard multiple accounts of them getting in altercations with foxes, raccoons, or other nest bandits with the end result being a dead fox or raccoon or whatever. Geese tend to win against most critters that aren't carrying a loaded gun.

As fond as I am of waterfowl, I must confess that I often had thoughts that geese are an unholy mixture between cranes, ducks and ogres...with a smidgen of goat.

So, is Percyus the Green tree frog? Sorry if I missed the information earlier.

Oh My Gawd! I love your description of geese!!!! Thats hysterical!

Ya. Percy is the green. I misspelled it before. Its Perseus. But yup. The little green bugger sounds like one of those devil creatures. XD

And Brian is so right. What happened to me was I was talking from my dorm to the little store to get some caffeine (was up studying for spring finals) and it was almost out of no where this HUGE thing came right at my head. Its wing span was wider then my arms stretched out and it was MAD. I turned sideways and he bit THREW my jeans and into the skin, even drew blood! I ran screaming as fast as I could to get away and it flew after me for a few yards until I got to the main road. I found out the next day I wasn't the only one to run into him, he'd terrorized the area all year. He was apparently protecting a nest of eggs that wouldn't hatch but since he didn't understand that they wouldn't hatch he was still going to protect it.

Since then I've been scared to DEATH of them. I use to love geese, thought they were beautiful and elegant. But not now. I stay as FAR away from them as possible.
