Social media users were shocked to know about the man's arrest, questioning if something like this can be done.
A man has been arrested in Sodus Point, New York, for the third time on last three weeks for having too many feeding trays for birds on his front lawn. Several neighbours have complained against 71-year-old Donald Antal, claiming that he had nearly two dozen feeders on his property. They alleged that this is a violation of the Village of Sodus Point local ordinance 57-6B(1), according to local publications.
Mr Antal has been charged with repeated violation of local codes. He places bird seeds and peanuts in the feeding trays in his yard, which attracts lots of birds, according to Wayne County Sheriff's Office.
ABC-affiliate 13WHAM said in a report that local laws allow two feeders per household and they have to be elevated five feet off the ground.
During his previous arrest, Mr Antal was charged with unlawfully feeding wildlife, and released on an appearance ticket.
