Earlier this year, a story about an 8-year-old Seattle girl’s relationship with crows went viral.
Gabi Mann started feeding crows daily two years ago, and the birds would leave her trinkets.
However, her Portage Bay neighbors said the crows would caw and leave droppings throughout the neighborhood.
On Monday, two of those neighbors filed a lawsuit against Gabi’s parents, Lisa and Gary Mann.
In the lawsuit, other neighbors said they tried to talk with and write letters to Lisa and Gary Mann, requesting that “they stop or seriously downsize their mass wildlife feeding operation.” But the situation escalated.
Neighbors contacted city and state officials, but no significant action was taken, the lawsuit said.
According to the lawsuit, neighbors say they're owed $200,000 for damage caused by the birds.
The Seattle P-I reports that the Manns have not responded to the lawsuit, and a trial date has not been set.
