This rooster actually ruffled some plumes.
Next-door neighbors in the Hamptons have actually been fighting in a wild, months-long fight over a loud rooster– with one side squawking that the bird continuously wakes him and the other reporting “harassment” to polices.
The fowl play– which is now unfolding in a regional lawsuit– started last May in East Hampton after Marc Auerbach, 53, got fed up with loud pre-dawn crowing by next-door neighbor Efrain Mayorga’s family pet rooster, Brownie.
Auerbach griped to the town that the feathered loudmouth begins its “dreadful animal scream” at around 4:45 a.m. — then continues on and off up until 8 a.m. in the suburb, according to court files.

“Excuse my language, however it’s f– king ludicrous,” Auerbach, 53, informed The Post. “I needed to go to a medical professional and take sleeping tablets to handle it.”
Auerbach stated he lost a $1,750-per month rental renter due to the sound which his kids no longer wish to stick with him since they lose sleep, according to court documents.
He consistently grumbled to the town about the cock-a-doodle disruption, penning lots of logs with the times and dates of each frustrating cluckfest.
[It’s] morning sound anguish,” Auerbach composed in a letter to a town authorities. “We are at our wit’s end.”
“There is an easy repair– get rid of the damn rooster from the home,” he crowed.

The problems led to a months-long town examination and the bird’s owner being struck with an unusual sound annoyance offense, authorities stated, according to court documents. The town didn’t get rid of Brownie, who continued to crow frantically each early morning, the Auerbach’s stated.
Mayorga’s child, Ana Nunez, competes Auerbach began the barnyard fight due to the fact that he merely desires to Airbnb the home to the swimming pool celebration set.
She stated Auerbach sent her household a threatening letter that incorrectly declared to be from a legal representative, which he has actually beeped and yelled at them over the rooster.

“Complainant states that Auerbach has actually … provided her phony files declaring to be from his lawyer,” an East Hampton Town policeman composed in a report, according to the East Hampton Star.
“He’s developing an annoyance. It’s harassment by him providing a phony legal representative’s letter … That’s a criminal offense,” Nunez, who herself is a lawyer, informed The Post. “This is what an animal does.”
Auerbach might not instantly be grabbed discuss the phony legal representative claim.
Her household even developed a shed over the chicken cage to keep the rooster from crowing, she stated.
