'What's puzzled me is the noises that's come from the house. Sometimes for days together there's not been a sound, it might have been a house of the dead; and then, all through the night, there've been yells and screeches, squawks and screams, I never heard nothing like it. I have thought, and more than once, that the devil himself must be in that front room, let alone all the rest of his demons.
But I think they had a convention to talk it over, up in the woods, for squawks and cries of many kinds came from that direction for a long time. Where shall we keep the holiday?
A pair of ibis that had been ejected when we made camp contributed intermittent outraged and raucous squawks from the tiptop of some neighbouring tree. It must be remembered that this beast had the evening before killed a 350-pound hartebeeste with ease. "The Land of Footprints." "The Land of Footprints."

Under Johnny's direction, a crew of technicians ran a power line into the slightly-wrecked chicken house. There were loud squawks of indignation from the sleeping hens as the men threaded their way through the nests. The line was installed and the power applied.

For a few moments he panted for breath, and then he opened his mouth to tell the news to whom it might concern. In rapid succession he uttered half a dozen jay-baby squawks, rested a moment, then repeated them, hopping about the tree in great excitement. In less than thirty seconds his cries were answered.
I've got a lot of things to say to Jane. Are you going?" 'I turns to the crowd. I was awful disturbed. "You mustn't take any notice," I says. "He ain't well. He ain't himself." When just then the parrot cuts with another of them squawks. Jerry jumps at it. "You first," he says, and flings the cage out of the window. "Now you," he says to the yellow dog, putting him out through the door.
With a half sigh Miss Mattie knelt and sent up her modest petition to her Maker and got into her little white bed. In the meantime Red's actions would have awakened suspicion. He hunted around until he found a tin can, then lit a match and rummaged the barn, amid terror-stricken squawks from the inhabitants, the hens. "One, two, three, four," he counted.
