As my neighbors have a yard full of constantly barking tiny footballs on legs, I may have found a new pet. Where can I get one?

I get what you mean my neighbor has one of those and the dog barks constantly through out the night

We have bald eagles in our neighborhood (no longer on the endangered species list). When a local builder got clearance to take a tree down that contained an unused nest they found several, small collars. My vote is for the Eagle. They make less noise than the owls, although they fly through the yard occasionally, too. They're big enough to pick up a small child!

Are you saying that as if it is an added benefit in choosing the Eagle over the Owl?

They're more efficient for annoying, small pets. Also depends on your neighbors kids.

If both the kids and dogs are small; go with the Eagle. They kill for fun. Owls typically shop at night or early morning for food. That might take care of the annoying dogs but the kids seem to make noise when you're trying to relax with a beer after a hard ride and the Owls are asleepin'.

Actually Bald Eagles are not big killers...carrion is their preferred meal.
 
My neighbors have a pack of yappers they walk every night just as I'm getting home on my bike. They're such little ****s, the husband and wife have to split them up and walk on different sides of the street. It's running the gauntlet as I sneak down the middle to a chorus of 'yip, yip, yip, yip'

Not ever heard owls around these parts, but alligators and non-native pythons are a'plenty. Maybe I'll get lucky one day...
