Since they've been out of town, Dexter's had a wonderful time using the aviary! I have to admit that the first 15 minutes or so he is on the noisy side as he 'checks in' with my other macaw, Shaylor. Then, he gets himself busy!
He usually makes the most noise once he reaches the highest point within the aviary. Not sure why, but it's like he says, 'Look at me! I'm on top of the world!'
I made a few videos on my phone capturing the 'yapsters' doing their barking at 11:30 p.m. Also tagged it to the actual time showing on my clock. It'll be my rebuttal if they dare come at us again with their complaints.
The downside to this entire ordeal is that now I'm left feeling paranoid that he's disturbing someone. As I mentioned before, Dexter is loud, and squawks at high decibels. I'd rate him up there with the umbrellas. I get it that it can be bothersome, but I'm trying to monitor the sound and keep it to what I deem 'reasonable'.
