Bharat Mistry, în vârstă de 56 de ani, spune că vecinul s-a plâns că porumbeii care își fac cuib în copacul aflat pe peluza lui murdăresc aleea de lângă. Celălalt cuplu a cerut mai întâi ca copacul să fie scos în martie, a afirmat Mistry. Mistry a căutat un grădinar sau pe cineva care să toaleteze copacii, însă vecinul său în vârstă de 28 de ani a sunat propriul arboricultor. Copacul a devenit de atunci atracție turistică după ce fotografii au apărut online, iar oameni au mers până acolo să-l vadă. Este posibil să fie tăiat copacul dacă nu supraviețuiește, spune Mistry, însă speră că va mai putea fi toaletat.
