The donkey kept braying. In this sentence why braying is taken as an object instead of adverb?

It is because object can be the action expressed by the verb.Here braying is the action and so it became the object .Adverbs are words that modify adjectives,verbs and other adverbs.A word is an adverb if it answers how,when or where.'Braying' can not be an answer to any of these.
