What’s really funny is that someone mentioned this on the Ubiquiti forum one 
day.  I think I said something like I don’t believe it.  Less than 24 hours 
later, I’m doing an installation, I look across the street and sure enough, a 
woodpecker was laying a beatdown on a Nanostation 5M.  We have since found 
about 4 radios like that out of a couple hundred in that area.  My guess is 
they don’t like green since that’s where they start.

Wow, I never thought of birds!

We're in Boston and nearby, equally urban, areas.
We see pigeons and sea gulls all the time, but not too many woodpeckers.   :)


Thanks,
Brough

We watched woodpeckers do this.  Had to make sure we mounted the lights below 
the top of the J-Mount so they couldn’t stand on something.

Is the solution to put electrical tape over them at time of install?

We have also seen this problem numerous times.  Sometimes all the holes are 
pecked in.

So when we've seen this, it's typically been a curious bird that caused it...

Here's something I hadn't seen before. The plastic cover on the light panel has 
failed but only over the power light and the LAN1 light. This radio failed in 
the field but my chief tech tells me this is the third Nanostation he's seen 
like this.  With the other two he just squeegeed some clear silicon into the 
holes and smeared some with his thumb over the rest of the yellowed cover.

Presumably the power light and LAN1 light are hotter than the signal strength 
lamps??
In any event, it's three (so far) out of a population of~200 installed between 
2010 and 2015.

Thanks,
