There are some damn noisy animals outside No I am not talking about humans I am talking about magpies! The noise they make is horrible! It sets my teeth on edge and they are horrible birds, sorry I know they are creatures the same as us, but I think they are such a noisy bird, why do they have to make that awful racket? Disturbing Wolfie's peace, you know he likes his peace grrrrrr. How dare they!!! They are also bad luck as well if you just see one, I wouldn't mind but there's a whole family out there making a chorus of cackling! Now where's my machine gun? (Only joking I love animals really, apart from magpies, squirrels, crocodiles, rabbits, mosquitoes, wasps, I better stop here, before you call the animal squad on me!) Anyone for Mag pie and chips? Ok so I am prejudiced so shoot me LOL! Ok what is the worst animal noise for you? Do you find Magpies noisy nuisances?

I don't mind birds. Right now, it is the neighbor's dog that is driving me nuts. They don't know how to manage it. It yaps yaps and yaps all the time. I don't mind if it barks according to its nature. This is something unnatural. It is yap yap whine whine yap yap whine whine. Really annoying!! Why can't they give that creature what it needs? I wouldn't wish neighbors such as mine even on my enemies!! I hope those magpies of yours are taking a break right now. Cheers and happy mylotting

A barking dog, oh my we have plenty of those in the area but I have got used to them now but your neighbours dog sounds like a right ... but you can't blame the dog can you it's those that keep them! It's not a jack russell is it? They are terrible for making noise! The magpies have gone to pester someone else, least they can fly off, dogs, sadly stay where they are permanently!

wolfie oh my hadnt thought about a noisy magpie In years. remember on the farm they would make their godawful noise..and in a pie they would probably be so tough you couldn't eat them' antway. also they steal other birds eggs and lie their eggs in another birds nest. the fledgiling magpies kick out the otherr baby birds.they are a rowdy bunch for sure.

Sounds like the cuckoo he does that doesn't he uses other birds nests, hence cuckoo in the nest, most unwelcome. So no mag pie then, so I won't be seeing it served on any cookery programmes! LOL

Hello wolfie34 I don't think I can say that I have really heard magpie's squaking really. If you have got more than one magpie that you can see wolfie, then you're laughing!! Although I would be a bit worried if you saw three or four at the same time!! I hate hearing dogs bark especially if it is before I get up in the morning or just at that moment when I am dropping off to sleep. Why can't their owners wait for a more socialable hour to let their dogs out to do their business?

There is a noisy Jack Russell in the neighbourhood and its yaps non stop! I have to close my windows but it doesn't get on my nerves as much as the sound of magpies, yeah I know the rhyme one for sorrow two for joy three for a girl four for a boy five for silver six for gold I can't remember the other 4, but three of the damn things are enough on Wolfie's ears, could you imagine if there were 6 of the rotters!

Speaking of chainsaws, I just went and bought me one. I don't hate the little furry creature, now I don't like them very much either. SQUIRRELS, I had a hole in the side of my house that has been repaired, b/c of a squirrel attack. One of those little creature go in my attic and couldn't get out so he/she made a hole in the trimming of my home. It got access to the attic from a dogwood tree I have on the side of the house, I bought this chainsaw so that I could cut back some of the limbs and see if that would help if it doesn't then I will have to cut the whole tree down.

I hate squirrels, yes they can cause so much damage if they get into your house, gnawing at wires can be very expensive, they are vermine and we never encourage them, we like feeding the birds but the squirrels get greedy, they look small and cute but they hide a dark side to them!

My friend, I agree with you . I dislike Magpie. Because this kind of bird make noisy . Meanwhile, the bird is a unlucky. Once you see the bird or hear the sound of the bird, you will feel there will appear the worst things. Sometimes, you indeedly run across the worst things because of Magpie.

I love magpies but probably wouldn't be too keen if I was hearing them constantly. Better that though than the constant bass of the so called music my neighbours love. I love crocodiles too, you know where you stand with a crocodile.

If I saw a crocodile believe me I wouldn't be standing I would be running as fast as I could in the opposite direction!

The worse animal noise I can think of right now came from the first set of neighbours I had right after I moved into my new apartment. They would make so much racket while making love at night, that I dind't get any sleep until some anonymous person in the building barged in there one night and hit them with cold water from a fire hose, or something like that. LOL

In this world we should love to enjoy the nature. Are we making noise and distrubance to others? see many people aree making sounds while sleeping. Artificial nosies such as horns are created by us. Try to ove rather than hate
