Noisy pet rooster ruffles feathers in the Hamptons with pre-dawn crowing — with one resident reporting it as ‘harassment’
NY Post
This rooster really ruffled some feathers.
Neighbors in the Hamptons have been duking it out in a wild, months-long feud over a noisy rooster — with one side squawking that the bird constantly wakes him and the other reporting “harassment” to cops.
The fowl play — which is now unfolding in a local court case — began last May in East Hampton after Marc Auerbach, 53, got fed up with loud pre-dawn crowing by neighbor Efrain Mayorga’s pet rooster, Brownie.
Auerbach griped to the town that the feathered loudmouth starts its “awful animal scream” at around 4:45 a.m. — then continues off and on until 8 a.m. in the suburban area, according to court documents.
“Excuse my language, but it’s f–king ridiculous,” Auerbach, 53, told The Post. “I had to go to a doctor and take sleeping pills to deal with it.”
Auerbach said he lost a $1,750-per month rental tenant due to the noise and that his kids no longer want to stay with him because they lose sleep, according to court papers.
