I have a few feeders in my yard. My neighbors yard backs up to mine. There is a fence inbetween. She has 2 dogs in an inclosed area in her yard. She is telling me that because I feed the birds, her dogs are getting sick. They are getting some sort of parasite from the bird droppings (she won’t tell me the name of the parasite). She wants me to stop feeding the birds. I love feeding the birds and don’t want to stop. She has 2 large, bushy trees in her yard. A lot of birds get in her trees and apparently the poo all over her yard. I guess what I want to know is: Is this my fault? Would it make a difference if I stopped feeding the birds? Can anyone tell me the name of the parasite? She just came over and accused me of throwing peanut shells in her yard because her dogs pooed out some shells. I told her the squirrels probably left the shells. Is she crazy or should I stop? I will add that I have taken down 4 feeders and changed seed to one that some birds won’t eat.
The feeders are up in my yard. None of them hang over into her yard. The birds do poo in my yard. Her problem is that the birds fly from my feeders into her trees and then poo in her yard. My thought was that even if I didn’t feed the birds, wouldn’t there still be birds in her yard and in her trees. She can’t expect no birds in her yard, regardless of what I do. I don’t think she is lying, I just don’t know if this is all my fault or not.
