AIBU to take a saw to the bird table?

I live in a faily modern terraced house and in order to access the rear gardens there is a pathway with gates off to the left and right (a write of access in the deeds). The beginning of the path is adjacent to the drive way of the first house.

I just went to cut my grass and when trying to get my lawn mower through discovered that

a) the twat in house 1 has parked his car half on his drive and the rest blocking the access path
b) placed a massive great bird table in the access path immediately beyond his gate so nobody can progress past his house.

AIBU to take a saw to this bird table and/or dismantle it and throw it over his fence?

I am hoping somebody is planning to do work in their gardens over the weekend involving ladders and new fence panels etc and that his car will get it's entire side wiped out.

I’m posting this under protest as there is no diagram, 🤬 but I’d start off with a friendly ‘not sure if you realised your bird table is blocking my access, and I struggled to get my lawnmower past your car as you’ve parked it on the shared access path, I’d hate for it to get scratched.’ If he doesn’t move them both then you could lean the bird table up against his car, (because you wouldn’t want to go onto his property, would you?)

I’d probably just flip it on its side and put it against the fence or something. Or if I was feeling petty I’d drag it out and put it next to his car on the empty half of his drive.

As tempting as it is to hack it to pieces and throw it over the fence it might provoke him to even greater feats of twattery. 😂

Can you put the bird table down upside down?

Parking thread = diagram. Them's the rules.

Well, you could.🤣
Or maybe you could just go round and ask him to unblock the right.of way?
