Absolutely... Arresting them is just way over the top. It could have, and should have, been handled better.

That being said, no one wants their community inundated with bird droppings, particularly if you have to clean it up. If the McIntosh's were overfeeding, (which seems likely if they were attracting 'hundreds' of birds), then there is a legitimate public nuisance that needs to be addressed.
