'This is an ex-parrot' ... ;o)

I still think the Monty Python "Parrot Sketch" with John Cleese is one of
the best comedy sketches ever. It still makes me chuckle when I see it.
Just wish I could remember all the terms he used to describe 'deceased'.

How do you do that?! ;o)

Nearly made it to Tayac Saturday, on our way to Lascaux .... I know,
it pains me too .... but we got distracted on the way passing La Douze
by a huge shinny sign saying 'Garden Carting'. Imagine, something for
everyone I thought!! But no, it was carting and only that. Had lots of
fun though. Now it's cold, it's rainning, back in Manc with a fabulous
tan. What the use of that (

What you need is a Thesaurus.

And an imagination :-)

Thanks JennyC!! This is a good initial solution! I could just print these
out and put them through the door - I think I know which one it is now.

It seems to be a positive and anonymous way of telling them there's a
problem, and please sort it.

It's been quiet the last few days - hopefully gone? But if not, I'm going
to do the above.

Aren't you the luck one. I had a parrot for 40 years and every sound
it made was imitated including my wife calling me. You think that's
funny? not when I didn't answer her. Thenthere were all the other
sounds, dogs barking, dogs fighting, cats mewling, telephone,
ambulances, police cars, the squealing brakes of my car, the kids
playing cowboys and indians. The listy goes on, and yes it did learn
to swear - it picked up "Oh Damn" from my wife and occasionally"Oh
s**t" from a friend of mine. It used to say that every time it tried
to bite me and missed. I used to put it in the garden to annoy my
neighbours but they always ended howling with laughter at its antics.
I live in the country and the house next door is a holiday home for a
London family. We have the lovely country smells of cow muck being
spread over the fields, cockerels crowing. cows mooing, sheep bleating,
what seems to be millions of jackdaws creating a racket etc. etc. etc.
None of this is appreciated by my neighbours. And the sad thing is I am
begining to lose my hearing and I don't hear it so well. There is
almost bound to be a funny side to the bird if you listen for it, and
it does sound as if it is comparatively new and not yet into talking.
Bigal

Nope, Bigal, there's not a funny side. It's just a constant, *extremely*
loud, high-pitched screeching. Interestingly enough - and I don't know
whether this is just because we've had a few dull days - I haven't heard
anything since the weekend. It was particularly bad then, and I wonder
whether someone else complained?

It really was impossible to ignore - even being tolerant, friendly,
animal-loving, patient, etc. etc - and very, very irritating. I have
started keeping a record.

Fingers crossed!!! I hope they haven't just gone on hols or something and
left the bl**dy thing with someone else .... (If so, I hope that
'someone else' strangles it!!!)

Barb

Print these out and take round to the owners ?

Hi again. I'm not sure whether this is the right group, but I lurk and
post here regularly and you seem a helpful lot! And it does relate to my
garden, as in ... I can't sit outside on a nice day!

A few doors away, the neighbours have acquired what I think is a parrot or
a cockatoo, which they regularly leave outside for an hour or two, often
several times during the day. It is incredibly noisy, with a horrible
shrieking sound, which is just as bad as a constantly barking dog. On
Saturday it was a beautiful afternoon and I had to put on earphones and
music to drown it out, so that I could sit in the garden and work/read.
Yesterday, Sunday, it was outside again at about 8.30 am.

God knows what it must be like inside their house!

I live alone, I don't know them and I don't really want to approach them
personally. It must be bothering other people, but many of them are new
and I don't know them that well, and I'm worried about going round
knocking on doors and "causing trouble" anyway. Any ideas?

I sympathise, but your problem is minor compared to mine, some years ago a
local idiot who kept the things as pets, decided he could not keep them any
more so he relaesed them into the wild, and they bred like hell there are
now about a couple of hundred of the damned things and they chose to perch
in a tree in my garden, and as you say, they screach ALL the time, and they
do love to feed o the apples I grow for my own consumption.

But I do hope you manage to find a solution.
