‘Before’ and ‘after’ photos of Brooklyn home once crammed with birdcages.

A Brooklyn home whose front yard had been crammed with birdcages and named an eyesore by the Daily News has been cleaned up.

Members of the Flatbush neighborhood – who had been complaining about the hideous attraction – couldn’t be happier.

“I’m happy to see it’s cleaned up,” said longtime resident Mary Phillip, who walks by the home every week on her way to church.

“We have to thank the Daily News for taking care of that,” she said, looking at the Lenox Road home, once a feeding ground for hundreds of birds who flocked to owner Manny Loupadiere’s cages and birdhouses for a snack.

“He should grow some grass, and have a nice lawn,” Phillip said.

One motorist driving by yelled, “Good job!” after noticing the transformed front yard.

But Loupadiere, 65, a bird lover, was distraught.

“The place was nice. It was clean,” he told The News yesterday as he walked outside the fence of his cleaned-up property. “I just liked birds.”

His son, Jose, 42, was responsible for the overhaul after the city Health Department threatened a hefty fine if the property was not cleaned up by Friday – the date of the next inspection. He said his father failed an earlier inspection at the beginning of the month.

The son, who works for a juvenile jail, said he took off two weeks from work and enlisted the help of a few friends to toss the hundreds of birdcages, birdhouses and fake winged creatures into plastic garbage bags. Many of the trash bags still sat on the sidewalk and alongside the house.

“He didn’t like it, but he had to accept it. He has to cope with it,” said the son, who also lives at the home. “It just had to go. It’s nothing we could do now. I didn’t want to see my father on the street.”

Loupadiere says his love for birds came after one kept him from getting shot while he was in the Air Force during the Vietnam War.

“They made a mistake,” the saddened birdman said, referring to the Health Department.

He said he has friends in Bay Ridge with similar displays but that they don’t get hassled the same way.

“I don’t know why they bother me,” he said, but he added that he is finally giving up his fight. “I’m not dealing with it anymore.”

When asked about his future plans for his property, he struggled to answer, before finally saying:

“Flowers, maybe.”
