Re: [MBZ] Woodpeckers attack!
Neighbors at the lake have a big propane tank and in the middle is the lid where the fill valve is etc. There was a woodpecker who loved to sit in the lid and hammer away.

Re: [MBZ] Woodpeckers attack!
My problem, though I have a lot of noisy woodpeckers around, is peckerwoods. I'm wondering how to deal with them. --R On 8/18/15 5:52 PM, Max Dillon via Mercedes wrote: Oh no.

All the woodpeckers I'm familiar with hammer for two reasons - to eat and to sing. When eating, most use a rather slow thump, thump, thump - maybe 1-3 blows-per-second and a seemingly random delay between blows. I never hear them do this on anything but wood. When signaling, they seem to like noise. Hollow tree, metal flashing, etc. And the rate is way higher, like 10-20 blows-per-second. It can almost be described as a buzz. For this, it seems the noisier he better. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] Woodpeckers attack!
Probably something in there, look for wood bee holes. Note that male woodpeckers love siding that makes a lot of noise, they mark their territory by hammering on hollow limbs that boom. Siding works really well for that, so do stores bee hive boxes.

Nothing like having a dozen golf ball sized holes in your house where the other birds come in and start stealing fiberglass insulation.
