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.

If that's the level of your competence in general, I feel sorry for him because he's clearly messed with the wrong person.

I concur, brilliant diagram, and the set up is not what I originally pictured!
Anyhoo, he is a grade A twat. There's no reason for him to get involved in the alley, I agree, move the bird table to the end of the alley, after all, you don't know who it belongs to 🤣 as for his car, humm he must be breaching some sort of access rights??

Loving the love for your diagram 😁

No advice but it would piss me off too!

Just wanted to join the love for the excellent diagram!
And I agree with a PP - act like he must have made a mistake rather than purposely being a selfish sreshole when you confront him

He's got plenty of garden by the looks of things to put his bird table .

My preferred punishment for a Parking CF is a handful of bird seed deftly sprinkled so they shit on the windscreen.
( I parked under some trees at my DParents house as it was "spare space" on the road . My car looked like Mr Bleedin' Blobby after two days !)

Bird pooh - Act of God (blame free)
You can blame the bird feeder table "I saw some starlings crowding round it Barry , maybe some put food there ?"
It is a relentless never ending task and you need to remove it otherwise it bloclks your clearview and damages paintwork
Birds need extra food in Autumn

"There does seem to be a lot more birds round here lately doesn't there!" 🤔

Sorry for my typos in the original post by the way "write of access" and "faily modern terraced house".

I was writing whilst annoyed! 😳
