Now, HOW do I 'splain it to The Protectives??
Oh no! My friend bought a house a few years ago and they had a big woodpecker problem. They were advised to get a fake Owl and set it on the side of their house where the woodpeckers come a knockin'. They did as advised and no more woodpeckers!

We have a lot of woodpeckers here too, but they stick to the trees, luckily. We also have a LOT of crows and they sometimes like to "play" on the roof, causing my "protectives" to go bonkers.
