to call their hens and chickens they say an Irish word "Tioch Tioch" and the fowl come. They say "Pee Pee" for turkeys and they also come foe it. When people call ducks they say "Weet, Weet."
The way the pigs are called, is you go out with a bucket, and say "Dhoch Dhoch" and the pigs know what is meant and they come in. If anyone is driving a pig they say "Hurrish Hurrish" for the pig knows that and goes on.
In this locality when people are calling a horse they always say "Phwo Phwo."- Collector
