Went for a walk and saw one of the neighbours. I smiled and waved and was ignored. Turns out they are not happy and called the council because cockies are eating our street tree and making a mess on the footpath. Our dog also likes to bark at her dog and she started yelling at him yesterday. Never done that before.
Might be going through a rough time and taking it out on other things?
Probably not. I’ve lived around anti-nature neighbours before, they just hate the idea of leaves and birds and wish everything was dead, because then it is ‘tidy’. The only acceptable gardens are lawn, concrete or pebbles.
She is always in the garden. Grass is the best on the street.
Well obviously council should send a written warning letter to the cockies with 30 day notice to vacate the trees. Or better yet, council should rip out the trees and put in plastic ones, that way wildlife will have nowhere to live and then street will be nice and tidy forever.
