There's an awful screaming sound in my garden, it's obviously not people but it's horrendous, what animals scream? It's keeping me awake!

Cats having sex, it’s an awful sound :(

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 28/12/2018 01:04

Foxes.
Bloodcurdling noise!

Whyarealltheusernamestaken · 28/12/2018 01:04

Foxes and cats, mating sounds are like this

Cheeeeislifenow · 28/12/2018 01:04

It's probably a fox! They sound like someone being stabbed. A male will repeatedly scream over and. Over in short sharp bursts...

Haggisfish · 28/12/2018 01:04

Foxes, rabbits, peacocks, Siamese cats.

Be glad, your garden is a sex den for nature :P

brizzledrizzle · 28/12/2018 01:05

I think it's a fox.

Foxes, cats, owls. Horrible!

Cornettoninja · 28/12/2018 01:07

Owls can make a blood chilling noise. Frogs too but it’s he wrong time of year.

Teseri · 28/12/2018 01:07

Cats shagging, I once thought someone was being murdered/kidnapped because of the screaming noise outside, went outside and realise nope just a cats getting it on

GypsyRoseTea · 28/12/2018 01:07

Frogs! But I doubt it’s them now 😂

boatyardblues · 28/12/2018 01:08

Rabbits being killed by a fox scream.

JosephineHass · 28/12/2018 01:08

Cats- I heard in the middle of the night cats "crying" - and it sounded like children's cry, I was really scared.🤭😶

We have loads of noisy frogs as we have two little wildlife ponds in the garden, we are used to their noise in the spring.

Its not the time of year for cats to be in season it can't be cats.
Dying rabbits also scream

brizzledrizzle · 28/12/2018 01:26

I doubt it rabbits, we don't get them, just hedgehogs and maybe foxes. Do foxes leave really foul smelling faeces?

OP posts:
hmmhohmmm · 28/12/2018 01:27

It's a werewolf or a gruffalo

DimplesToadfoot · 28/12/2018 01:28

Hedgehogs bonking, it sounds like a herd of cats are being strangled

WTFIsAGleepglorp · 28/12/2018 01:28

Yes to fox faeces.

It's as sticky as PrittStick and fucking reeks....

Evidencebased · 28/12/2018 01:29

Fox lol = a s ell like you would not believe.

Although, I've never smelt it in the open air. Only when Lab has rolled in it

Pieceofpurplesky · 28/12/2018 01:30

Yes OP really stinky dark poop. Ugh when dogs roll in it it takes ages to wash off

brizzledrizzle · 28/12/2018 01:33

I'd love a gruffalo in the garden.
Something leaves foul smelling faeces on the lawn, I can smell it when I open the window.

Foxes are usually the culprit. We heard a blood curling scream last night (sounded like a woman, scary!) and saw one running down the garden when we looked outside. This morning there were feathers out there, they’re very loud!

Marshmallow91 · 28/12/2018 01:50

All animals "scream".

If it's in your garden, chances are it's a fox. They make horrendous noises while "talking"

popcornwizard · 28/12/2018 01:54

The worst scream I've heard was from an injured baby deer - it even freaked out the old pony who never flaps at anything. The dog went berserk.
