Also, I did see under section 1(b): Florida-friendly landscaping includes 'attraction of wildlife'. So for the HOA to ban bird feeders is a violation of this statute.

Anyway, I would tell the HOA their order to remove the banana plants which were planted as part of the approved 'Florida Friendly landscaping' plan is a violation of this Florida Statute.
