After serving 20 months for tax evasion in the 90s (her pandering conviction was overturned), Fleiss left LA for rural Nevada in the early 2000s, dedicating herself to exotic parrot care. She says she's willing to "do whatever I can to appease" neighbors and wants to talk it out.
Cordova filed a noise complaint and says county code limits residents to 20 birds with outdoor restrictions near Reid Airport (bird strike hazard zone). Fleiss could face enforcement. She'd previously vowed to leave Nevada in 2022 after one macaw was shot with a pellet gun, but stayed.
The plot twist: Fleiss thinks it's not about the birds at all. "I think she just doesn't like me," Fleiss told 8 News Now. "And there's a lot of people like that. And I'll never be able, I can't try and change her mind." Her past reputation may be the real issue.
Fleiss bought an $850k property in mid-February with a bird aviary housing 30+ exotic parrots. She lets them roam free instead of caging them. The macaws — large, colorful, long-tailed birds — perch on a wire near Cordova's window and scream.
Shauna Cordova, who's lived in southeast Vegas for decades, says the parrots wake her up almost daily at the crack of dawn. "Nobody likes to get woke up. So when you get woke up, it puts you in a bad mood. You're like, what in the heck is going on?"
Heidi Fleiss — the 90s Hollywood madam who ran a high-end LA prostitution ring — is now feuding with her Las Vegas neighbor over two macaws named Gin and Juice that screech outside bedroom windows at dawn. The neighbor's had enough and called Animal Control.
