Bye, Bye, Blackbird

Oi, Granny, Lose Ya Tweety Birds

Mate, they’re not larking about. A British great-grandmother has been admonished by her local council - over the sound of birdsong in her garden. Dorothy Berry, 65, of Fulham, West London, said, "I have a lovely garden in which the blackbirds sing in the trees. But I really don't see what we can do about that." A spokesman for Hammersmith and Fulham Council said: "We are aware that this matter has ruffled a few feathers. But we must investigate all complaints from residents - however bizarre they may appear."
