I'm not sure about French dogs but Dutch dogs say blaf blaf. Dutch cockerels say koook-e-le-kook, at least their cats make a normal sound

You'd think we'd have better things do do on a friday night

I've just been reliably infomed that cockrels say koook-e-le-kooo not koook-e-le-kook. Oh the shame.

Dutch pigs say knor knor WTF?

I was going to post this following a discussion today with my Au Pair.

German dogs say vou vou

Czech dogs say uff uff

She thinks German's 'woof' is funny (she is from Cz) but I pointed out that sometimes we say bow wow over here.

German cats say miau

My DC were born in Germany, so I do know my animals. All those mother & toddler groups have given me lots of useless information

My excuse is that I was being spoken to, in canine german, by a non native with a strong czech accent.

What is up with those German donkeys? However I say that I cannot make a proper donkey noise.

Ok, I'm in trouble about the cockerel now. DP is ashamed It's actually kukelekuu but it does sound like my phonetic version...

Apparently:

Cows say Boe
Chickens tok tok tok
Cows boe
Donkeys ia
Ducks kwak
Pigs knor knor
Birds tjilp
Mice piep
Cat:s mjauw
Dogs waf, woef and blaf blaf
Frogs kwaak

Oh well at least my pig was right!

OMG. I thought I needed to get out more.

I know Brussels ain't the most exciting place in the world, but couldn't you find anything else to do?

LongtimeinBrussels, you have provided a full evening of entertainment in the slattern household! Thank you!

Exciting it certainly isn't! Only took me a couple of seconds to google it though to be honest and saved me the bother of typing out the French ones I know!!

I don't know what is worse.

Finding the time to do the website and put the animal sounds on there.

Or putting his real name on.

Derek, you sound like a really interesting guy

Thanks for that, Longtime.
