Or are my neighbours complete IDIOTS 😂

[Lilianna123]

Another neighbourly dispute, same neighbours that claimed our cat was teasing their dog, and the same neighbours who accused us of stealing blackberries off their bush that happened to grow over my fence.

Well if I hadn't thought they were ridiculous before, I definitely do now.

Woke up this morning to find a note through the door saying they have had a new piano delivered and due to space they were limited on places it could go indoors (not our problem) they are saying where they have placed it is under a window and their view from the piano is a large oak tree which is in our garden. Their problem is that they are saying the many birds nests that are in this tree are distracting and these wild birds are making too much noise therefore distracting them from the piano.

There isn't even a suggestion in the note of what they'd like us to do about it. Not that I would even consider taking any action towards the tree but FFS what on earth are they doing? They don't have a bloody leg to stand on??

UPDATE!!

We hadn't responded and have just had this through the front door!!

What to add ? They are beyond crackers. They make my busybody neighbours round the corner seem positively sane.

[Soubriquet]

Reply to your neighbours and tell them your taking their note seriously and you and the birds have had a big discussion

Unfortunately for them, the birds have complained about their piano and further correspondence should be directly to the birds as obviously you don't want to be involved in their dispute

[ChardonnayKnickertonSmythe]

Tell them that your cat normally chases the birds away, but their dog has traumatised the cat so much that the cat is no longer capable of carrying out official duties.

Oh please send a note with this!
Pretty please.

[DolomphiousDuck]

Well the good news is that the winter weather will probably finish the piano off fairly quickly...

[ThisisMrsNicolaHicklin]

Waaaaah! No way! Chop the tree down so they can hear the piano better? They're having a laugh OP.

[PosiePootlePerkins]

Oh my goodness.
Don't engage OP. Leave them to it in their world of crazy.

[WeirdAndPissedOff]

Can you post them the sheet music for Risseldy Risseldy? (The nursery rhyme in the film "the birds").

[tanfield90]

That note confirms it. Send for the men in white coats.

I hope you are as passionate about your oak tree as Andy is about his music.

[Discobabe]

Tell them you'd send the cat out to scare the birds away but you're worried it might tease the dog.

[ChardonnayKnickertonSmythe]

Ideally they would like the tree to come down?

[Andrewofgg]

People like this remind me of the death notice in a local paper from some years ago. This is absolutely true apart of course from the names:

SMITH. Bill. Died [date]. From all the neighbours in Acacia Avenue. Peace at last.

[WaitrosePigeon]

Oh man that really made me laugh. I needed that

[GeorgeTheThird]

Good lord.

[JakeBallardswife]

They're mad!! Say as commited Eco warriors you're leaving the tree out where it's been for xx years. Suggest they move piano?

Love the windchimes / bird feeders idea!

[pugsake]

They sound crackers.

I once got a note telling me they could hear my toilet flushing through the night.

I collared her the next day and asked her if she expected me to go in a bucket.

Mad the lot of them.

[ChuffMuffin]

All jokes aside, that last note is incredible and IMO they are crossing the line in to harassment. Good news is you at least have two pieces of evidence of their harassment unless you actually wrote unsubscribe on it and put it back through their door lol.

My neighbour is harassing me, what can I do? - Ask the Police

[ApocalypseNowt]

Send a note back saying "I ate the last note....what did it say?".

Out loon that neighbour OP!

[Doublemint]

Or reply-
"Tell Andy to close the curtains and play betterlouder "

[JakeBallardswife]

Offer to loan them the Alfred Hitchcock film?

[littleducks]

Put up a scarecrow on the tree

[YouTheCat]

Respond with 'No'.

[Brighteyes27]

Same as Frances Crawford. A note through the door from the birds about the piano noise disturbing their birdsong. With a PS from you about the racket the piano makes. But never mind you are hosting a swingers party next Saturday so I hope we don't disturb you then.

[Yourarejokingme]

Oh they are bloody bonkers for sure.
I'd ignore it all personally. Do not engage with them. If they try to have said tree cut down get em done for trespassing and vandalism.
