My neighbor destroyed our garden birds' nesting sites and food source...
My husband and I have been building our own little garden sanctuary for the wildbirds for close to 15 years. It was destroyed by our neighbor this week. We carefully chose our hedge as it's a huge favorite of the Eurasian Blackbird (we're in Europe). We chose the Cherry Laurel to provide nesting shelter, food for the bees with the flowers, and berries for the birds in fall/winter. We asked the city hall for regulations before planting the hedge many years ago and we were given the green light. We were told, as long as it's on your property, no problem! This week, while we were home, a neighbor came and massacred our hedge. We've never once spoken to this neighbor. The hedge is no where near her property. She lives two houses down from us, renting part of a house. Long story short: the neighbor told us she cut the hedge, citing that it scratched her RV as she drove it down our residential street. We asked why she didn't ring our doorbell and ask if we could trim back the hedge...no answers. We felt our hedge was trimmed adequately, no other neighbors have complained, and my husband knows almost all the neighbors as he has lived here his entire life. My husband and I went out to inspect the damage. First, she did not properly prune any part of the hedge, which are supposed to be angled cuts...it was just damaged. Some plants were broken and split. She destroyed 30 plants, some over 3 meters tall. We estimated the cost of replacing all the mature plants at over 13,000 euro. You can't prune hedges at their peak growing point which is in July and August. It greatly stresses them and invites disease. Furthermore, she hacked into some baby plants that were behind a rope and could never damage any vehicle. She did not clean up what she hacked off. She shoved it all underneath the bushes and we spent the afternoon discarding all the branches, which weren't little. I seriously cried as I found all the remnants of our blackbirds' nests strewn on the ground under the bushes. Our birds reuse nests as I've seen many babies being hatched year after year. This neighbor destroyed our birds' entire habitat that they had created. She destroyed the branches that would provide them with food when the cold weather comes. My husband and I are beyond devastated. We went to the police and they came and took their own photos of the damage. They said that our insurance will cover the costs of a lawyer to take this lady to court. We also found out that our country has laws against destroying birds' nests and trimming away any potential nesting sites during the breeding season, which is cited as the months of March - October. The punishment for this can be fines and even prison time. We will be contacting our local department of Wildlife on Monday to see if we could bring this into effect. What can we do now to help lessen the blow to the birds? In the event that our entire hedge dies, is there anything that I can provide the blackbirds with during cold weather that they will eat, instead of their usual berries? I tried putting back the nests in their approximate areas that I remembered them in, but I'm unsure if they'll use them as some were badly damaged. I'm so sad about all of this and I thought the only people who might understand are fellow bird lovers. Sorry, for the long vent!
