Ducks Non-limited

Posted by Taggedred on 8/4/2025, 6:33 pm

Any recommendations for when several of your neighbors are routinely feeding ducks and a massive flock is created and hangs out on your property even though you don't feed them nor want them around? Should I start feeding wild cats at my place? Maybe let my grass grow to encourage some snakes to take up residence? Anyone know how to feed and attract red-tailed hawks? Never have minded a few ducks hanging about, but this flock is several dozen now because of the abundance of food.

Iof course ask them nicely to stop feeding them. If that doesn’t work remind them that it’s against City Ordinacez and they can be fined for continuing to feed them.

We had/have the same issue but thankfully they are moving. While having 30 ducks around all the time was annoying it was the pigeons that were the real issue. We had bird shit everywhere!!! We had problems keeping our pool chemicals in line and there was so much bird shit on our roof that our gutters were clogged up and growing weeds. I had asked them multiple times to please stop feeding the birds but even though they said they would stop it never ended. I was nearing the point of calling the police about the issue because it is a violation of city code but I never wanted to be that neighbor.

I would suggest talking to them and if that doesn't work then you may have to get the police involved.

Ask your neighbors to stop feeding the “wild” birds.
