I got told off for feeding the pigeons during lockdown admittedly I left seeds and peanuts everywhere on the balcony and it was a free-for-all between the squirrels and the pigeons, the ruralish ones and the city ones, and the magpies. Two people complained on the same day, a really really hot day, and I demanded, outraged, in person at the housing association office, to know what the rules were about feeding the birds, knowing that I was being a dick to the extent that even people in the flat were like ‘you need to stop leaving all this seed out’ and my mother on the phone was like ‘rats’. And when I talked to people about it, hoping they would side with me, they did not, so I understood that it was not cool to feed all the animals who would come. And the guy at the housing office said ‘whatever it takes to stop your neighbours complaining, that’s the rules’.
