I’ve always wondered why these peckers kept at the metal pecking when there doesn’t seem to be any reward.
Maybe the mating/territorial thing but………noisy, you’re right……
Yeah, it is territorial and mating, at least with some. I was sitting at my desk working one day and wondered what that noise was. So, I went to the other side of the house and went outside. A downy woodpecker had found a nice hard and hollow piece of tree and was drumming it away. It was much like this guy.
That's a great story, but I wonder about the previous owners. Like, they didn't notice the woodpeckers drilling holes and dropping acorns in the wall while they were eating dinner? Maybe they noticed, but said, "Oh, we'll just sell the place." Maybe they just didn't use the dining room much?
