Camden will sue resident for feeding birds despite rat infestation

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • May 7, 2025

Camden will sue a local homeowner who feeds wild birds at his home despite several warnings from the town that he’s allegedly violating local rules and has contributed to a rat infestation in his neighborhood. While Camden allows residents to feed “songbirds using well-maintained bird feeders,” local rules prohibit scattering birdseed and other food that could attract wild animals. On Tuesday night, the Select Board voted 3-0 to file legal action against Gian-Angelo Gallace of 11 Chestnut Hill, after he allegedly continued to feed wild birds despite entering a consent agreement with the town last fall meant to address the rat infestation at his home.
