  • On an early Sunday morning, we were awakened by a series of hammering sound. Then we found this Red-Breasted Woodpecker hammering on our roof gutter.

    We have one that has pecking on our roof almost everyday for the past month - in the early morning. It scared me half to death the first time I heard it as this is my first time dealing with one. I hope it will eventually stop.

    I have one in my neighborhood pecking at my roof vent in early spring. The sound can be heard fifty feet away. I first thought my house was haunted or somebody was using a drone as a prank. I would like to get rid of it but its against the law. It is an endangered species and I understand why because its a nuisance.

    They do this in my neighborhood on the street light covers and sometimes it sounds like a machine gun! Northern Flickers here in Oregon. Sometimes I think they do it to attract a mate because I think they know the metal is not a nest building material.

    When a woodpecker pecks on your house, its time to call the pesticide company. You have termites or other bug infestations that these birds eat.

    • @teresavecere4366

      STURGISJAI He is either looking for a mate or protecting territory. They often use siding or roofs because they make such a loud, resonating sound , the effect they are after. They can also peck on houses if you have a large bug infestation, but more than likely this is about territory/mating. Try hanging a fake owl decoy if the noise is that disruptive or you see signs of damage. Some idiots posted cruel (not to mention illegal and just simply stupid) “solutions”. Please ignore them. He isn’t looking to bore a hole in your house . I have had one doing this every morning for the past few days right outside my bedroom at between 6:30-7:00 am and again just before dusk . The way I see it is that they are forced to live with us destroying so much of their environment with all of the trees we have decimated to build our homes (not to mention pesticides killing >7 million songbirds per year); I can be tolerant and compassionate and live with him doing what he needs to do to survive 😉.

    Get a super soaker and try to squirt them by surprise. Or bang on the wall from inside your house to scare them away. But you will have to be persistent. When they see that you bang on the wall immediately after they start pecking, every single time, they eventually will give up. That was my experience last year. But one thing you can't do legally is kill them as the Migratory Bird Act imposes stiff fines if you do.
