I have one that has a different bird that sing every hour. My mother had it for years. It has a light sensor so that it only sings when the lights are on.

If I had it I'd buy a cat,a hungry cat

Aah Dare, you can't beat the sound of birdsong.

In Calgary they have a by-law that forces the owner of a barking dog to get it's voicebox removed if there are complaints by 3 or more neighbours. 

We had one nearby, and after the operation we used to marvel at his soundless barks whenever you got near their yard.  You could see the poor thing mouthing barks, but no sound.

it's funny that the owners of barking dogs never
hear them bark

How cruel!

I can't even imagine such a law being passed down here.

Dog still wagged its tail and seemed pretty normal, just couldn't make a squeak.

We got a yapper 3 doors from us, sounds like a good idea to me.

Funny how society in general can put up with a barking dog that yaps all fricken day and into the night but god forbid you turn your music up too loud for a single neighbour.
No, I'm not the redneck playing loud music but I live in a town that forces me to keep a diary of the barking dog, which has to be submitted along with at least 2 neighbours with overlapping complaints before they will even contemplate giving a ticket to the owner. Which goes against they bylaw which is supposed to protect me from the barking....

Scott, if it weren't for the eternal deep freeze which is the Calgary winter I'd be calling the moving van right now!

Cos, I feel your love of the canine but since they won't let me shoot my neighbors and it's not the dogs fault I feel the love for Calgary...except their hockey team...Flames suck!

Low to mid 20's in the summer, that's a bit chilly Darrell.

while were at it another thing I hate are people who work on
their cars,reving the motors up and worse have a barking dog chained
to the bumper.

ps-music blaring from a boom box,it's times like this I
believe in capital punishment

[Scott]

No boom box for me, in Calgary I installed speakers outside.  We can't really have outdoor music right beside our hotel, but give me a backyard again and there WILL be tunes.

Sunday afternoon BBQ's with tunes.  Best way to keep the neighbors happy is invite them!

I'm sure this an age related thing Dare, I used to love the engine and music noises in my younger days the louder the better. 

Oh dear we're becoming grumpy old men.

I agree though no one gets used to yapping dogs.

I still love reving engines and loud music, and I'm 57. I don't think you lot would have liked my old apartment in Uptown Manhattan at all. The noise outside was 24/7, and I loved it! (Of course, I was a little younger back in the late-70's/early-80's)
