Ok, so I take back my original claim of birds being the most annoying animal around my house. Dear God, I never knew frogs could be so LOUD.
Seriously, I might have been exaggerating slightly about the birds, but these frogs make me want to find them, put them in the video game Frogger and purposely run them into oncoming traffic.
Over and over again.
And again.
I can distinctly hear two frogs, "talking" to each other back and forth in the grassy areas across the street. But instead of a ribbit here and a ribbit there, one sounds like an egregiously loud bicycle horn while the other sounds like a small dog just had it's testicles cut off after being kicked in the stomach and is running around yelping.
Yes, this is what I have to put up with at night now. In the morning, my ears have smoker birds to put up with, and at night, they now have to listen to a megaphoned bicycle horn and de-balled dog.
But other than those few quirks, it's great in The Big Easy.
