They where living their whole life through me.  Moving, put an end to all the problems (it became complex)  Looking back I never involved my neighbours, and it made things all the harder to resolve.  I found to my amazement that my neighbours suffered the same torment from this person too.I regret not getting the support of my neighbours.Maybe it was I felt embarrassed to admit i had a problem, or people would shun me for opening up to them.So in Deborah's case, this is why I think that a communal/individual meeting of all the neighbours would be a good idea.  Safety in numbers etc...  Try to get in the neighbours good books as much as you can, by mentioning all the positive things that have been done ie the garden work etc... that is the main thing to do.  The wildlife aspects in the garden as the birds present.  Birds on feeders make it a lovely area to live in.  The expense that has been contributed to the cause and improvement of the local living area.  It is like proving a point, and explaining all the positive points as much as possible.As for the neighbour try to resolve the issue where the the pigeon deterrents can work (as mentioned in my last post) can be used to prevent any more problems. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
