Get some pet foxes and give them squeaky toys. Put their enclosure right next to the pigpen and just let them have their fun.

Hahaha! Too funny everyone!
The irony of it all is that they're not home atm, and their little yappy dog won't stop barking! I think that a leaf falling of a branch would make that dog bark!
My Dexter makes 4-6 one second calls in 15-20 minutes, yet their little yappy dog goes on and on and on throughout the day.

Sounds like it's time for you to spontaneously develop the exact same illness she 'totally has' and give her a dose of your own medicine, tbh.
Get a Lyrebird, they are most notable for their SURPERB ability to mimic natural and artificial sounds from their environment. The lyrebird can sound like a chainsaw through to children laughing. Imagine, Dexter in stereo, their yap yap dog or the door and windows slamming.

Email them and tell that, though you know they're out, their dog has now been yapping for X minutes and is a nuisance - you would appreciate it if they left it inside when they're gone.
I'm dying right now! While I was playing this video, my grey, Maalik, was trying to imitate some of the sounds the Lyre bird was making.
Glad to make you laugh. I think you can get Lyrebirds in the USA. not 100% sure though

Record it. Set up a camcorder of some kind turn on the timestamp and let it record the whole time. Ammo should you need to return fire.

You have been more than patient! It is time to forget about your neighbor and do whatever you want to do with your aviary and birds. They deserve absolutely no respect for the way they are behaving. Do what you want and let them call the cops if they want because you have done nothing wrong.

I have to agree on this one. Write down dates and times and a few recordings wouldn't hurt.

@Birdbabe tell us how you really feel lol oh my goodness lol.
@Nikomania I am sorry she is still being that way but you have the paperwork and there is nothing she can do about it.

That would be one heck of a long recording. Don't have anything that'll do the trick.
You're right. My patience is wearing very thin, and I'm about to tell her to go bleep herself.
I know. I do have the paperwork. Frankly I'm a person who doesn't embrace discord and conflict very well. I'm one who's always looking for a fair resolution to any problem.
It is my intent to hit her with the letter, should she start e-mailing me again, or peering over the wall. The door and window slamming today was extremely childish non-verbal crap which actually had the opposite effect on me. Up until now I'd hurry Dexter back into the house, but this time I continued going about my business with Dexter. What I didn't do is leave him outside for more than 15 minutes, which is the time limit imposed upon us by them. Working on taking back control, slowly but surely.

Existing Conditions
The City is primarily a developed and urbanized city, and an elevated ambient noise level is a normal part of the urban environment. Urban areas typically have a higher ambient noise level, which is the composite of noise from all normal background noise sources at a given location. The most prevalent noise sources in San Diego are from motor vehicle traffic on interstate freeways, state highways, and local major roads generally due to higher traffic volumes and speeds. Aircraft noise is also present in many areas of the City. Rail traffic and industrial and commercial activities contribute to the noise environment. Urban noises can also include, but are not limited to the following: construction, refuse vehicles, sporting/special events, and public activity noise, such as dogs barking, leaf blower, loud music or car alarms.
Noise ordinance laws exist, but they were not designed to make sure you don’t ever have to hear your neighbor. They are standards put in place to allow people to make acceptable amounts of noise.
Zoning does affect the allowable decibel level. In residential-only areas, a typical noise ordinance sets a “sound curfew,” or period of reduced allowable noise, between 11 p.m. and 8 a.m. on weekdays, and midnight to 9 a.m. or 10 a.m. on weekends.
This applies to the dog that barks all night and your neighbor’s carpool buddy who lays on the car horn every morning.
The rule of thumb is that if the noise is loud enough to keep a reasonable person awake, then it is probably illegal. A police officer can use a device to read decibel levels to verify whether your neighbor is breaking noise ordinances.

I would point out that her yap yap dog barked and barked. In fact barked the whole time they were out. Then I would tell her to go and Bleep herself repeatedly.

Well I would say a fair resolution is long past. Leave Dexter and the gang out there all day long if you want.

Make a recording for as long as your recording device can record. Then make notes on something like a kitchen calendar the times it starts and stops daily. The other thing this recording will do too, is record any parrot calls in the background.
It might be a double-edged sword or not but it will show a comparison of continuous dog yapping vs. intermittent parrot calls. Consider it though as a back-up.
