bray and scarff: Donkeys bray merrily without any reason. They bray with perfect modulation,slowly increasing the pitch,reaching peak and then gradually reducing to inaudible bray. I have a strong feeling there may be singers in them. I am a bathroom singer.Fortunately no donkey nearby to respond to me.

The donkeys will bray on seeing she-donkeys. why some one's sing is compared to donkey because, the donkey's bray will be long like alabana, ragam, etc.,Our elders comparison never fail.|||Thanks for reviving my question. Malar says Araitha maavu!! But it is Pulicha Maavu!! So tasty dosa or idli is possible.|||only Humans can TALK...but all LIVING BEINGS can "communicate". What animals do is "communicate" and humans do it(sing) for 'pleasure' .... Singing isnt a necessity for us.|||not only donkeys but also all vertebrates are able to speak/sing|||Araitha maavu!!|||Siva Siva! Why are you singing in the bathroom? Isn't there a lock? I never did any research on their voice modulation.|||Nah, every donkey I've ever known is a real jack-@$$!|||????????????????????????????????????????鈥? HUH?
