NYC tenant tormenting neighbors with flock of rowdy roosters, pesky parrots and other boisterous birds — and claims their meat is ‘good’

He’s a cock-a-doodle-doofus.

A Manhattan tenant is allegedly tormenting his Inwood neighbors with his very own noisy farm, which includes a flock of roosters, some chickens, turtles and a loud-mouthed parrot.

The man plucked four large white eggs from the dirty dog cages he keeps his birds in outside the 40 Arden St. building Tuesday, telling The Post, “This is a breed from Indonesia.

“They have black meat,” he said, refusing to give his name.

“Yes you can eat them. They’re very good.”

The urban farmer explained that he keeps the birds outside all year round, even through the biting winter.

“No, the cold doesn’t bother them. They can be here all winter. It’s a special breed from Indonesia,” he said of his roosters.

But the good eats come at a cost to the rest of his neighbors.

“The super, the building owner, they haven’t done anything about this. We’ve all complained. It’s just too many! It’s extremely noisy. It’s all day and all night. Can’t get to sleep! Nobody can sleep. It’s much worse at night,” one neighbor from the third floor griped to The Post.

“You expect this in the Caribbean, but not here!”
