I have never in my life heard anything quite as loud and obnoxious than hearing Sammy scream. Even with noise canceling headphones and ear plugs, I could still hear him. It was so loud, I felt it in my chest.

I don't know if this is normal but I found out that Sammy side stepping down his perch towards me and hissing at me like a freaking snake are his ways of begging for pets and love. All I know is that when he did either of those to me, my first instinct was to get away as soon as possible and as far away as possible. I've been a dog trainer and handler for over a decade and I can read dogs like a book. I couldn't read Sammy at all. Those fuckin beady little eyes and gorgeous plumage were just distractions from the fact that he was the devil.

Come to australia! We have flocks of thousands of them that just hang out in the trees in a suburban park screeching that loudly every evening for a few hours. I swear half our birds make the most horrendous noises. I forget that some birds “sing”.

I would but.. I live in the US and I HATE traveling. I hate planes and if you asked me what my idea of hell looked like, it would be being forced to be on a plane for 18 hours like my family made me do to go to the Philippines.

Ahhh! 18 hours isn’t too bad 🤣. My city is at least 6 hours on a plane away from … anything. So I am used to planes because I don’t have many other options. I suppose I could drive for 3 days if I want to go to the next state. Travel is fun but I haven’t done much in a few years.
