PET PEEVES: An officer responded to a 911 hang-up call on Woodland Avenue. A man said when he returned to his apartment around 3 a.m., his door was unlocked and someone had been inside. He said his red parrots were outside his front door, and someone had opened the birdcage, allowing the red parrots to go free. But nothing was missing from his apartment, he said. The man, age 40, smelled strongly of alcohol, the officer noted.
Later the same day, another officer responded to a call from the same apartment on Woodland Avenue. The 40-year-old man said when he returned to his apartment later, his tank of pet fish had been thrown on the ground. (Five pet fish were dead, the officer noted.). Also, the man said, another birdcage was broken, releasing two finch birds inside. (The finches apparently flew away, according to the police report.) The man kept his fish tank and birdcages on his patio. The man said he suspects the owners of his apartment complex are trying to intimidate him — because he reported dangerous mold at his former apartment complex, which is owned by the same company.
