The first one is definitely a call, assuming he didn't say raise. No question.

What if he said nothing & slid out a stack of redbirds ($100)? Call or raise?

Then it's a raise to 100. This is a totally different situation than the big chip rule.

Brad, I don't understand how you don't get it. Here's a snippet from Bob Ciaffone's rules of Poker Dealing:
[ QUOTE ]
15. If you put a single chip in the pot that is larger than the bet , but do not announce a raise , you are assumed to have only called. Example: In a $3-$6 game, when a player bets $6 and the next player puts a $25 chip in the pot without saying anything, that player has merely called the $6 bet .
[/ QUOTE ]
The rule is the rule, there is no argument here.
That being said, it's not left to interpretation period. If you dont' declare you actions when it could be construed differently by different people, you are bound to the minimum action, in this case call. And to reiterate what punkass wrote, If you "slid a stack of reds" like you say above, then I think everyone would know that's a raise and it will be treated as such.
