You say "Eedle, Eedle, Eedle" when calling a duck or "Tweet, Tweet, Tweet", either. You say "Gay, Gay, Gay," when calling a goose or gander. You say "Eeb, Eeb, Eeb," when calling a turkey. Hens, turkeys, geese, and ducks are all cared for in the same way.
When calling an Ass you say "Phew, Phew Phew" or "Nay, Nay, Nay." An Ass has a cross on his back. He is treated the same as a horse or mare.- Collector
