  • Hundreds, possibly thousands of pounds of birdseed have been dumped around Glen Park over the past two years by the "Birdseed Lady." The excessive birdseed has attracted rodents and caused thousands in damage to local business owners - who even tried to take matters into their own hands.

    I once worked at Petsmart and you would catch women like this arguing over how much food they leave out for animals and what kinds of animals would come to eat. They try to top eachother like it was a competition on how insane and out of touch they were. I always wanted to tell them that they were the problem but I also needed a job.

    Months ago my mom wanted to feed the sparrows with oil less sunflower seeds. One day I see the strangest looking squirrel on my porch, I go to check it was a huge rat. Then seconds later another huge rat. A day later 7 huge rats. I got a few trapped and poisoned I was about to get a high power air rifle and deal with the problem myself but we opted for the humane route so we cleaned the porch and used rat repellent in the garden. After 3 days of no return the rats vanished forever and we were officially rat free. We went back to feeding the blue jays and squirrels peanuts designed for outdoor critters and skipped feeding the sparrows. After months no big rats have ever appeared

We have an ordinance against outdoor feeding, but our cases were thrown out because the wording does not directly include the feeding of cats. So, we reworked the wording. Now we have national organizations accusing us of trying to kill cats, but these people fail to understand that irresponsible feeding can lead to unexpected consequences. I would say the majority of our residents are opposed to feeding like this, but very few show up to meetings pertaining to this new ordinance so the only people who show up are those against it. Then I get thirty calls a day blaming the city for causing the rat problem. It’s a wonderful cycle.

    My condo used to be nice. When they marketed it to us originally they had a pond at the entrance stocked with fish and a mated pair of ducks in it. They were actively marketing to people from more urban areas who maybe wouldn’t notice a few more trees missing. Soon they were lax about the rules about big parties, about fireworks, about campers in the yard. The opioid crisis hit, then the pandemic, then more recently the rents went through the roof. More people than ever camp here now, and because they keep moving them out of more urban areas they have brought new species of rats with them. No more do we see ducks in the pond because of the people urinating and defecating outdoors.
    They try to blame a bird feeder that’s been there twenty years for a more recent phenomena brought on by all these other causes.
    Do these bird haters even know rats eat at night? And if they dislike the rats so much maybe they can try not moving them from place to place with their poor excuses for housing programs anyway!
