The Birds Will Be Fine Without You, Lady
-
The people who like to feed birds really don't care that they're doing a bad thing. This woman says the town's bullying her by forcing her to remove a bird feeder from her deck as a health risk; she doesn't think that filling the feeder and also throwing food on the ground and feeding the birds, which draws flocks of birds and piles of their poop, is a problem. But it IS a problem, and the neighborhood is now overrun with birds who are learning to rely on the woman for food -- a problem in itself -- and the neighbors have had it up to here. I see people come to a parking lot by the ocean in my neighborhood bring a whole loaf of bread to feed birds, and then leave, with the result being poop everywhere. They don't care. It's entertainment for them. (WATD/Marshfield, MA)
