What kind of animal sounds can YOU impersonate?

@Great Argus I say see one because I have heard them a few times, hence me trying to impersonate them. Minnesota's summer birds are sometimes too overwhelming in biodiversity I have probably only seen 20% of them, despite living here and going out almost every day to find some. I slowly ticked some species down and Every time I saw a cardinal I would cross my fingers to hope It was a Summer Tanager. :p I need to ask a few people that I know who have seen them (no one here on zoochat) to tell me some of the best places to find the tanagers.
Not too heavily though, I don't want this to turn into another one of my ZC Big year fiasco's :rolleyes:.

I'll definitely agree tanagers are often heard more than seen. I usually am alerted to the local Western Tanagers by hearing them.
And more to the point of the thread, I do mimic their calls but not particularly well.
 
If zoochat only had a "record", button. . . . . :oops:
No seriously that would not be a good idea but my hopes are set, In a rack of cheese danishes at a local CheeseChameleon. inc. industries warehouse.
 
Seeing how it has been quite sometime since I have last shown off my list of notable animal impressions. I just thought it would be nice to boost up the thread by listing below, in bold, some new animal calls that I can easily impersonate, (whenever my throat ever feels like doing so):

African Lion, (Panthera leo spp.)
Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphin, (Tursiops truncatus)
Common Chimpanzee, (Pan troglodytes)
Domestic Cow, (Bos taurus)
African/Cape Buffalo, (Syncerus caffer caffer)
Domestic Goat, (Capra hircus)
Nile Hippopotamus, (Hippopotamus amphibius)
Spotted Hyena, (Crocuta crocuta)
White-Handed Gibbon, (Hylobates lar)
Domestic Cat, (Felis catus)
Alpaca, (Lama pacos) (humming)

Emu, (Dromaius novaehollandiae)
Southern Cassowary, (Casuarius casuarius)
Domestic Chicken, (Gallus gallus domesticus)
Wild Turkey, (Meleagris gallopavo)
Indian Peafowl, (Pavo cristatus)
Cockatiel, (Nymphicus hollandicus)
Bald Eagle, (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) (signature call, albeit, in a hush-like tone)
Northern Cardinal, (Cardinalis cardinalis) (signature call, albeit, in a quieter tone)
Nene, (Branta sandvicensis) (soft humming)
Barred Owl, (Strix varia)

Western Diamondback Rattlesnake, (Crotalus atrox)

American Bullfrog, (Lithobates catesbeianus)
 
I like this thread. I'd love to hear the Emu impression, as it is quite distinctive. The downside of this thread is we can't hear any of these calls...or can we...anyone??

It did make me chuckle a thread about mimicking having full species and Latin names too :D. Who could say hmm that's defiantly an African Lion not Asian when listening to a human making the sound..? (only joking):p

I do a mean Lyre bird impression....:eek::eek::eek:

Now before I begin. The entire reason behind the concept of this thread’s existence, was simply based on a random idea that I recently had, just to see whether or not anyone else here on ZooChat other than myself, could easily make some sounds based on certain animal vocalizations (ex. a lion’s roar). Now for starters, here are some of the more notable animal sounds that I can easily make, (whenever my throat ever feels like doing so):

African Lion, (Panthera leo spp.)
Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphin, (Tursiops truncatus)
Common Chimpanzee, (Pan troglodytes)
Domestic Cow, (Bos taurus)
African/Cape Buffalo, (Syncerus caffer caffer)
Domestic Goat, (Capra hircus)
Nile Hippopotamus, (Hippopotamus amphibius)
Spotted Hyena, (Crocuta crocuta)
White-Cheeked Gibbon, (Hylobates lar)

Emu, (Dromaius novaehollandiae)
Southern Cassowary, (Casuarius casuarius)
Domestic Chicken, (Gallus gallus domesticus)
Wild Turkey, (Meleagris gallopavo)
Indian Peafowl, (Pavo cristatus)

Western Diamondback Rattlesnake, (Crotalus atrox)


I also want to mention, that if you either have some form of difficulty when it comes to making an animal sound, or if you simply don’t know how. That is okay, after all, it is only just a simple talent that some people just so happen to be good at, whether they are good at it or not; even it means that it might be different for some people, while the opposite might be true for others. In addition, I am also aware that there are probably certain existent threads that have already tackled this subject before. But to my current knowledge, I personally do not believe that anyone else has had any current attempt to bring this kind of topic into the forum; so in that case, I am just going to be the first one here that will bring it up here, if you know what I mean.

I’m still kind of new to it, but the one I can do best is probably the White Cheeked Gibbon’s long distance calls and up-close hoots. Hoping to get better at doing a chimp pant-hoot, but the fast switch from high to low is tricky
 
Siamangs, Common cranes, Peafowl, Domesic chickens, Flamingos, European Blackbirds, Herring gulls, Common cuckoo, Collared doves, Common wood piegon, Domestic sheep, Domestic cow, Ring-necked pheasant
 
those that I can do a mean impression of:
marmoset chatter
chimpanzee scream
baby crocodilian distress
a bunch of birds

I also do a bat wing flutter that scares people (even though I can't hear bats flutter their wings :) )
