Squawk Box: New Jersey Woman Told to Quiet Down Her Parrots
New Jersey Woman Told to Quiet Down Her Parrots
AVALON, N.J. — Sep 29, 2015, 8:41 AM ET A New Jersey woman must get her two parrots to quiet down after the birds gave someone something to squawk about. Elaine Scattergood was ticketed in May after someone complained that her birds, Edmund and Arthur, were too loud. Scattergood tells The Press of Atlantic Citty she would place the parrots on the porch of her Avalon home because people like them. She says people would say hello to the birds and the parrots would reply with a greeting. A judge on Monday told Scattergood the noise complaint will be dismissed if there are no violations reported in the next 90 days. |

I remember back nearly 65 years ago, we had a parakeet and so no problem in the cage, every once in a while to let him out, inside the house, of course, Dad named him Pretty Bird, and would whistle the name at the bird, trying to mimic the bird voice/sound, and the bird would reply, so I learned that trick too....had to whistle softly and the conversations would last several minits....
shame about the neighbors in the OP..... I remember an advertisement from long ago.....went like 'Call McCALL, We got it ALL' done like a Parrot.....been a while..... |

Saw this on FB early in the morning.
I highly doubt, there will be any complaints for the next 90 days. She might be one of the 50 "locals" who live on the island year round. This resort town is filled with Philly's nouveau riche, and new money folks. Place is bumping from Mid May till Labor Day. Besides, in a week or two the wind will pick up and it will be too windy and cold for those birds to hang out on the porch. |
