Combating Avian Terrorists

No activity is ever truly innocuous when cops need to meet their quotas. A 60-year-old special education administrator learned this lesson the hard way when she got slapped with a hefty ticket while out enjoying a sunny afternoon recently. Her offense? Sprinkling birdseed to the sparrows in her Harlem neighborhood. When a pair of cops caught Yvette Bavier feeding her winged neighbors, they immediately questioned her. Then Bavier allegedly had to wait as the officers pored through their professional manual in search of a punishable offense. After they discovered “bird feeding” was not on the list of felonies, the officers settled on a ticket for littering. Presumably, they moved on to go break up an illicit game of hopscotch down the block.
