minus-squareOwOarchist@pawb.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up18arrow-down1·16 days agoIf they did, it would at least be a lot lower-pitched than a goose. Vocalization frequency tends to scale with the size of an animal. So I’m guessing their honk would sound more like a foghorn … which is kind of terrifying in its own way.
