If kept inside and quiet (impossible to do?)...
That's closer to the truth than one realizes. 'Bout 8 years ago, I attended one of those mandatory boring work conference in Louisville, KY and the closest available campsite was at a park in Corydon, IN. Was assigned a site for three days next to a TT owned by a young construction worker with a beautiful blue and gold macaw, named 'Rascal'. Rascal didn't like to be left alone. So, Friday morning when the young man left for work at 5:30 am, Rascal raised hell until I left for the conference at 8:30. When I arrived back at the CG, the young man was home and Rascal was as quiet as a church mouse. Then the young man ran out of cigarettes and needed to run to the store. As he drove off, I would have sworn someone died. OMG... the wailing!!!
But, the worst part was the long day I put in at the conference on Saturday. I couldn't wait to get out of there, get back to the camper and relax. Ah... heaven awaits. Only, Don Juan has a date and drives off as I'm getting ready to sit outside and relax with my adult beverage. That dang bird wailed, screeched, squawked, bit@#%^, p!$$ed, and moaned until 12:30 am when my neighbor finally returned. If I never camp next to a parrot again, it'll be too soon.:B
