Maybe they just haven't thought of it like that-they are enjoying it so they might assume everyone else is too?

And maybe encouraging Mamie that making birds run and fly might discourage the gathering. Of course then you might get written up for a barking dog. Rules sure are rough.

I'm sure it's not ideal, but in the realm of problems, this seems like a small one, and it's better to maintain a good relationship with your neighbors. If you get friendly enough with her you could perhaps casually mention it directly to her...?
