ekek

The term "ekek" primarily refers to a specific type of vocalization made by certain animals. Most notably, it is associated with the sound produced by the black-capped lory, a species of parrot native to Indonesia. This distinctive sound is often described as a repeated, high-pitched chirping or squawking. Ornithologists and bird enthusiasts commonly use the term to describe this specific vocalization, distinguishing it from other parrot calls.

Beyond its association with the black-capped lory, "ekek" can also be used more broadly to describe similar sharp, repeated sounds made by other animals, although this usage is less common and often context-dependent. In some informal contexts, the sound might be mimicked by humans to represent animal noises, particularly those of birds. The precise meaning and usage of "ekek" are largely confined to discussions about animal sounds, especially within ornithological circles and among pet bird owners. It is not a term with significant meaning in other fields or general colloquial language.
