You got off lightly. This is one of my favourite cocky videos:

It’s still out there.
I’ll be inside picking stalls. I hear its war cry, I set the pick down, this is it, it’s time.
Then silence.
This has happened multiple times. Little bastard.
I borrowed my mom’s binoculars for the recon mission. Dont give up on me, I will find it, and I will identify it (say like in the movie Taken) lol

I’m honestly starting to think I should just knock on the woman’s door and ask. If I saw someone creeping around on the back of my property with binoculars, I would not be happy - even if I had a screaming creature to spark the interest. Not to mention, if she’s got loose dogs I’ll be in trouble.
The recon mission will have to be from the other side of the creek, so I’ll be on someone other than her property. But she’s got so much junk at the property line, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to see anything.
One way or the other, this is going to be fleshed out.

I’d go for the direct method as well. Just ask (in an interested manner not a grumpy manner.)

I thought it was dead. Nearly two full days without a peep.
And then, seconds before sundown, REAHHHH. REAH REEEAAAAHHH.
Turd. I’m busy tonight but tomorrow I’m just going to her house, screw it.

There was a story a few years ago where British scientists “accidentally” bred a chicken with a dinosaur face. Someone retorted in the comments that one does not just “accidentally” create dinosaur-faced chickens & they needed to stop lying already. 
'll have to hunt down the link.

Hmmm Herons maybe? They sound like Pterodactyls.
@Postandrails check out X Rated Ruby on Youtube. She’s an African Grey with quite the vocabulary.

My plans for last night changed, so I walked over there.
It’s an effing cockcatoo, that she leaves on her back deck in an outdoor cage in good weather. What a jerk lady to her neighbors to let it scream non-stop…

May I suggest ear plugs? 
Or riding in the rain

OMG . $20 says she allowed the cockcatoo to watch Jurassic Park & it picked up some questionable velociraptor vocabulary
Eta: Was working at the kitchen table yesterday evening. Heard a ruckus & looked up to see a blur of feathers flying through the air. Ran outside to find one of the cream legbar hens strutting angrily around outside the electronet with Louis, the larger of the two liege fighter roos, running interference. They had all been hanging around on the roof of the small coop. Not sure if a red-tailed hawk swooped down at them or if the hen just got annoyed & hopped the fence. The blur I saw was all 12+ lbs of Louis hurling himself over the fence after her like Kevin Costner’s character in The Bodyguard.
I’ve never run across any other roosters that do this kind of stuff. Tempted to flex on the chicken FB board: “My roosters might’ve been expensive but they’re smarter than y’all’s honor roll students!”

Like people with barking dogs! “But they’re just talking!” No, they are annoying the living crap out of everyone within hearing distance.

Well… might qualify as just a wee bit dumb to think we’d talk you OUT of a pony.

OMG. Whoever said this sounds just like my idiot neighbor. Her dogs will start barking moments after she leaves for work at 0630 and will not stop until 0900. Then they bark off and on the rest of the day. When anyone complains, she starts braying “They’re dogs. That’s what dogs do. Dogs bark. I’m not staying home all day just for you. I’m not killing them just because they bark.” No, we don’t want to kill the dogs, but some of us are thinking about you…
