just hire some neighborhood kids to chase the birds away for $5 a day. eventually the guy will get PO and beat the kid to a pulp. then he goes to jail. which = no more bird problem
You need to find out if actually feeding birds (rather than rats) is illegal. If it is report it to the police. Either way, I would go ahead and call the police and get them to take a report. If it's not illegal it's going to be a civil, not criminal matter, but you would at least have a police report to back it up if you took it to civil court. If there's several of you who are pissed, you may get a petition together and present it to your city council (or local governing body) and try to get a law passed. If it's not illegal, there's no way he could be arrested for fined. If he's not actually physically damaging your car himself, there's no criminal damage to property. He can't be held criminally liable for birds flying by and pooping, even though he's feeding them, unless there is a law against it. I'm not an attorney, but this is my two cents. My husband is a cop, and I used to work for a district attorney. My advice would be to 1. Attempt to speak with him. 2. File a police report after talking to him. Tell the police you just want to file a report, not press charges (unless it is illegal), just in case it does go to civil court. 3. File a civil suit, but don't expect anything to happen anytime soon. Some civil suits take years to resolve.
Everyone on this board sure must have alot of extra cash cuz whenever an opinion is asked the advice is to laywer up.
How about starting by simply asking birdman if he could feed the birds in the back yard instead of the shared sidewalk area?
Then if that doesent work, pick your favorite option from all of the other sound legal opinions offered. LOL
