MANNINGTON, W.Va. (AP) — It's not quite Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds," but former Mannington Mayor Frank White says he's had enough of the winged creatures for a long time.

White says his neighbor, City Councilman Jeff Michael, has been providing a regular smorgasbord for birds, with seed, bread and even French fries.

As a result, White says there are up to 60 birds at a time on his property. He says most of the birds are pigeons, which he calls a nuisance.

He's asked the city to intervene, but current Mayor Bob Garcia says he's not sure exactly what powers Mannington has in the situation.
