We live on a new development where three houses (ours and 2 neighbours) front on to a public open space which is grassed.
One of our neighbours has taken it on himself to spread bird food on the open space to attract pheasants.
The problem is he has managed to create a pigeon colony instead (about 30-40 at a time).
As well as the mess the pigeons create on the our cars and the grass, it now means I cannot exercise my dog on the grass area as he is prone eat pigeon poo (as many dogs are inclined to do and which can be fatal to some) as well as roll in it.
Before I approach this individual (who has a very superior attitude) to ask him to contain his feeding ritual to his garden and leave the open space for others to enjoy, I have to consider my approach to be as neighbourly as possible.
How would you guys go about it.
