'Smells like a thousand corpses': the family bought a house for $ 700 thousands, but it was captured by vultures. VIDEO

A young couple from New York with a two-year-old child bought a 700 thousand dollar holiday home in the luxurious Ibis community in West Palm Beach, Florida. They could not have thought that the dwelling was occupied by hundreds of disgusting and dangerous vultures. What attracts them to this house?

The Casimano family bought the house in April and was looking forward to spending summer vacations there, says Palm Beach Post. The spacious house, which cost a couple 702 000 dollars, includes three bedrooms, an indoor pool and a plot overlooking the natural area next to a wonderful nature reserve.

But the community had one feature that customers did not know about: their neighbor loves to feed wild animals.

Less than four months after buying a house in a luxury complex, a family cannot even come to their own home (“the smell is like a thousand rotting corpses”) and fear for their child, the head of the family said.

The problem is that hundreds of black vultures have taken over the courtyard, torn fences and turned the pool, patio and barbecue into their property. When the family is in the city, they have to put the car in the garage, otherwise the birds surround it and leave holes from their beaks.

According to Casimano, birds regularly feed in the neighbor’s yard, and then rest in the surrounding houses.

“Vultures are vomiting everywhere,” the woman said. “Their feces and vomit are everywhere.” It's just a nightmare. We can't even go home."

Neighbor Cheryl Katz, who lives down the street, says it's even worse for her - her house is next to the home of a woman who feeds birds. In May, 20 vultures flew into Katz's pool house, couldn't figure out how to get out, and attacked each other in a panicked frenzy.

“Imagine 20 large vultures trapped in a trap, biting each other, and they can chew on bones,” she said. — There was blood everywhere. It was a vile, traumatic event. And it was Memorial Day, so not a single company I called came to help.”

A few hours later, three policemen arrived, removed the damaged screens and drove off the vultures.

Katz has chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a blood cancer that makes her vulnerable to infections.

“These birds bring a lot of bacteria, so I couldn’t go outside,” she said. “I had to book a professional car wash twice before I could get out there.”

Katz wanted to sell her house and move, but the lawyer told her that she would have to solve the problem to potential buyers or risk suing. No one will buy a house with this problem, so she abandoned her plans.

Women blame everything on the elderly neighbor Irma Acosta Arya, who distributes plentiful food to vultures, raccoons and other wild animals. Katz says that Arya sprinkles about 160 pounds (72,5 kg) of dog food a couple of times a week.

Katz regularly sees Arya's silhouette through hedges and empty dog ​​food bags in the trash. Arya has no dog, Katz noted. And this is not just dog food. Arya puts the fried chickens in there and spills out whole trays of white bread sandwiches.

“I drove down the driveway and saw a raccoon holding a sandwich in its paws and eating it,” Katz said.

“Feeding makes you sick. And when the birds finish eating, they sit on my roof, on my trees. The pool cleaner is afraid to come here.”

Arya did not answer phone calls and emails. According to Katz, confirmed by Gordon Holness, president of the Ibis Real Estate Owners Association, the association and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission have already warned Arya about her inappropriate behavior.

According to Katz, Arya even went to the swamp to feed the alligators. This is a big problem in Florida and is frowned upon by wildlife authorities to avoid creating dangerous encounters between man and animal. Fish and Wildlife officials found and removed an adult alligator from the area. After the incident, Arya stopped feeding the alligators, but continued to "take care" of other animals.

The association began receiving complaints this spring, Holness said. There were no such problems at Ibis before. This luxurious, comfortable place is a residential complex with 1841 houses and three golf courses, created more for money vultures than for real ones. Until a few years ago, West Palm Beach Mayor Jeri Muoio lived in the Ibis. But times have changed.

Arya was summoned to hear about her warning, threatened with a fine, but the meeting was adjourned. The association is limited in scope since migratory birds are protected by federal law. They should not be disturbed, much less killed, although this might work.

Stan Smith, an expert in agriculture and natural resources at Ohio State University, said that if the black vulture is hungry, he will not hesitate to attack pets and young children.

According to Smith, farmers in the Midwest know that a bird can attack a newborn calf. And if you kill a vulture, you can stand trial.

Still, Smith advises owners to get a federal permit to kill one of the vultures, hang its corpse on a tree so that other vultures can see it for miles around, or hire the services of a taxidermist and use a stuffed animal for years so the birds won't come back. The surprising thing is that carrion-eating vultures do not approach the corpse of their own kind.

Katz heard about this and said that permission to kill a bird is difficult to obtain. An option is to have someone quietly kill one vulture and claim that it was found dead, but you could end up in jail for doing so. Some village residents tried to release fireworks and balloons to scare away the birds, but the effect did not last long.

Katz put four stuffed owls with illuminated heads and eyes on the roof of her house. What is the result? Vultures chewed owls and tore their heads off.
