This sounds wonderful! I love hearing birds in the neighborhood. It tells me that nature around me is alive and that my immediate environment is to some degree healthy. Plus, think of the bug problem we'd all have without birds.

Well, if you have forgiven her I won't suggest getting the peacocks for a comparison study afterall.

We live in a country club and the next door neighbor followed my parents while taking a walk, got out of his truck, and told them "to cut their f*ing tree down." The cops were called, but before they came, the neighbors left for a week. He didn't even chip in for the tree to be super trimmed. We payed for it all. These neighbors make me happy to move East. They just cuss and throw trash into our backyard. We had other neighbors who would have their dog **** on our lawn. This CA country club sure isn't very friendly. At least the neighbor didn't knock on our door at 4am, but now we drive to a walking path instead of walking in the neighborhood.

What was the issue with the tree? And what business was it of your neighbor? A neighbor can trim trees and shrubs that overhang into her/his property, so why didn't he just do that?

Was this an ongoing something-or-other that the neighbor been requesting action on, or was the outburst the first indication that something about your tree displeased him? The whole thing sounds extreme on first glance.

What city do you live in? I can't imagine any birds that stay awake at night. Only a few birds are awake at night and those sleep all day like owls. Is it chirping or squawking. Pigeons will coo through out the night but that generally is not very loud. Grackles and crows are noisy, travel in raucus groups. But they go to bed. Unless the birds are the ones up all night doing coke. Maybe i was pissing off some coked up bird instead of the other waya round : )

there are birds that yap all night, I just don't know what kind they are...in fact I can hear them right now and it's 10pm. This usually goes until 4am or so. We are starting to get used to it as they just started this a week or so ago but it is a very aggravating sound. I have about a full acre of trees in a bunch on the property so there really isn't a whole lot I can do about it for now.

I live in a rural unincorporated town where the horse's still have the right of way. I have chickens and a rooster, nearly a third of my neighbors have chickens and roosters. A man that was visiting his wife at the apartmenst across the street from me told me to shut my rooster up or else he would, I told him that this town is rural and I could have a horse if I wanted to. He was a big rig driver and came at me with a metal bar that is used to tighten the chains on a load. I called the police and they told me that he can't do anything about my chickens or rooster. He started to harrass me by parking his rig outside of my fence on my property next to a trail adjacent to my yard where I keep my animals. On Saturday mornings he would start up his rig and leave it running for 2 hours or more till my entire yard and house smelled like diesel fuel. I complained repeatedly to the police, his landlord and the county that put in the trail. I finally got the county to admit that it is my property and if I did not want anyone parking there it was my perogative. I posted no parking signs and got the county to come out with a work crew working off their fines and they planted about 40 plants that I had grown in pots . I got his landlord to write them a letter requesting that they mind their business and to leave me and anybody else alone. His wife got mad at me and said that she would get me evicted , I told her that I was a property owner and she was a tenant , that if anyone was going to be evicted it would be her. Her son told her to shut up and get back in the apartment. It turned out that the rooster that bothered this speed freak family was not mine. My rooster is more than 500 feet from their unit and a neighbor within 100 feet from them has chickens and roosters. They do not dare to mess with me anymore for I am now block captain for neighborhood watch. Speed/crank has caused so many families to fall apart and it did it to this family too. The mother and son still live there, but they mind their P's and Q's now.

Whoa, and I thought the occasional loud stereo was annoying! Glad you got that nightmare of a situation settled.

I do believe that is a mockingbird and I do love them but when a person has to get up early for work and they sing loudly all night right outside the window even the righteous will despair.
Not me though, I sleep like a log.
