Caitlin Brooks, thank you for your comment! The females will scream like a woman at the males, and the males kind of mumble to themselves like old men. They are amazing creatures, and not at all pests as some people think. I somehow cannot reply directly to you.
Thank you for honoring my late Pokey the porcupine. I really love your channel and the manner in which you handle the porkies that visit. Porcupines are God’s little foresters. Thank you again, I am humbled.
Really they are peaceful animals. They just want to be left alone, or they want food. They won’t hurt you, unless you touch their quills…then it is the quills you have to pull out.
I'm so curious!!! My local friend porcupine makes this noise all the time, what does it mean?? ☺️ He also approaches me which makes me run back inside! Is he threatened or happy?
The porcupine will not hurt you. It might be a female if it makes this kind of noise, but maybe not. The noises they make are just what they do! If the porcupine felt threatened, it would not be talking to you, it would turn its back and show his/ her quills, and probably be quiet. If your friend porcupine approaches you, he or she is looking for food or something. They don’t see that well. They are harmless vegetarians.
Yes, you have my permission! Maybe you could send a link to the project, I would be interested! Have you checked out “The Porcupine Whisperer “ channel? Great work there
