Llama Sounds and Pronking

Llama Sounds

At certain times llamas make distinctive sounds that express their emotions. 

• A mother will hum to her cria or baby llama, to assure it and show affection. 
• A young llama and adults will make a worrisome hum when they are anxious or bored or hungry. 
• The clucking sounds are like making a tic-toc sound with your tongue on the roof of the mouth. Clucking means stay away from me, I do not want you in my space. 
• The high pitched alarm sound is a squeal warning of a predator or some kind of danger or uncertain event, like a heads up. 
• My llama, Starbuck, cries out like a pterodactyl, when he does not get his way. It is a definite Jurassic Park sound. 

Pronking

Pronking is a hop up and leap forward on all fours. It reminds me of the cartoon Pepee Le Pew, the skunk. Boing* boing* boing*

 In the video below you will hear the high shrill alarm sound, see how tall the llamas are when they stand on their hind legs and see them running and pronking ( a bounce on all fours)

Many people have asked where we get the brush shown in the video. The llamas use the big blue brush for self-grooming, scratching a hard to get to itch and they also massage their upper palette with the bristles. A street sweeper brush can be sought by inquiring at street sweeper companies, city or county road departments.

We just made some 1/2" black llama with a red heart, tattoos on a whole sheet of 72. Just cut out a llama and follow the instructions. Put one on your face, make a string of llamas around your wrist or ankle or a parade going up your arm or over your shoulder.
