Grammostola pulchra stridulating

[DonnaG]

I was trying to take pictures of my male juvie Grammy. Had the lid up and trying to get my phone just right to take a picture. He was chewing on his greenery. Suddenly this really weird sound came out of him. It wasn’t a hiss. It was more like a little bird chirping very fast. Totally freaked me out. I wish I had recorded it.
Has anyone else had a Grammostola stridulate?

Not a grammastola, no..and the few I've heard sounded like whispering, or a soft crackling sound, nothing like a bird. Was it plastic greenery he was chewing on? Maybe thats what made the sound?

 

[DonnaG]

It was a silk plant leaf he was chewing on. Maybe that was it. It was the weirdest sound I’ve ever heard. And I know it was coming from his enclosure. Strange.

Is there a cricket in the enclosure, or nearby?

 

[DonnaG]

No, no crickets. It didn't sound like a cricket at all. It was a very fast high pitched trill. I'll try to get him to do it again and I'll try to video/record it.

 

[DonnaG]

Well, darn it. I tried to get him to do it again and record it, but he was hiding between corkbark pieces and didn’t do it. Oh well.

When my Stimi does it it doesn't sound like a bird, it sounds like...
