She was seen in the video throwing a myriad of different items out of her window, including what appears to be a food wrapper as well.
She was seen eating out of a packet of food and dropping some food down onto the ledge of her neighbour’s unit below.
Birds were then seen flocking over to eat the food that she discarded.
