They fly in every day by the hundreds, crowding power lines and rooftops, dropping feathers, waiting for their next meal.
They are pigeons (search). And for four years they have not gone hungry, thanks to Ania Nowak and her mother, who pour birdseed by the bucketful into a fountain-sized feeder every day outside their Woodridge, N.J. (search), home.
Nowak says she is not just a pigeon lover, she's a friend to all feathered critters — but the people of Woodridge say she's out of control.
"Until she started with the pigeons ... nobody had pigeons around here!" said neighbor Connie Sansevere.
Neighbors who'd like to barbecue in their backyards say the chubby birds are raining — literally — on their parade.
