oh but the braying is the best part, we wake up every morning to the donkey and mules, and every time we come home from town they come hollerin over the hill and sometimes in the middle of the day or the middle of the night just so we don't forget they are around. I think it scared the crap out of our neighbor the first time she heard the donkey after we moved here, but I don't think it bothers them nearly as much as the old neighbors because the donk would start up around 6am and sound off most of the day, lol!
The variety of voices is the best, some jacks sound like seals...that just cracks me up. Rocky Mountain songbirds:)
