Ok not sure this is the right section but here goes.
My elderly neighbour puts bird feed out and it is causing a big problem with loads of pigeons hanging around on my house (and more importantly sh*ing everwhere)
It is also probably contributing to the presence of a rat - the feed gets knocked off the table onto the ground and I have seen said rat foraging around at the base of the bird table.
Is there anything I can do to stop this?
She is ancient and rather irrational and emotionally fragile. I really don't want to upset her but then again I'm sick of my house having pigeon poop on it and also concerned about the health risks of pigeon poo in our garden and a rat too (albeit the rat is not solely her fault).
Am I being unreasonable to ask her to stop feeding the bloooooody birds?!
