Robert59 - People will think that you are kidding but you're not. Pam's Yellowhead Amazon parrot is a stinker. For years our side yard was THE place for the island donkeys to have 2:00 am arguements at full bray! An island cat (looks like an Egyptian statue but black and white) gave birth on our roof. And we had to screen in the veranda to keep the sugar birds out of the house. We've got friends who tried to scare the monkeys away with an air gun and the little imps are smart enough to retaliate by pooping on the veranda at night. When the guy thought he'd lay a trap for them they threw their feces at him. Moral: don't underestimate the animals. Here's to Nevis.

Nevisian; Pam's parrot is truly a intellectual being. My wife and I were swimming in the pool. She had a towel draped over the back of the lounge chair. The parrot landed on the lounge chair and began rifling through her purse. So, my wife splashed pool water on the parrot, and he slowly crawled around the back of the backrest, and peered at us from behind the towel. We too were awakened every other night, or was it nightly, by the noisy donkeys. AFter awhile, the monkeys accepted me and I'd sit quietly in the forest. They would come down and walk around me. They young adolescents stopped tossing mangoes at me when I whirled a few back, with some weight behind it. Many beautiful tropical birds around the patio while we ate breakfast each morn. Robert59
