It's the roosters that generate neighborhood complaints!

In our closest town one resident objected to the local council about
roosters waking him early in the morning. When they didn't do anything
about it, he grabbed a half dozen or so and threw into the open doors
of businesses in the town. Caused a bit of turmoil as the frantic
critters knocked merchandise off shelves and harassed shoppers
scrambled for cover. The businesses complained to town council and
then enforcement began.
