Apparently, male woodpeckers hammer on trees and houses and stuff between late winter and early summer to attract a mate. Woodpeckers drumming also tells other birds to stay off his turf. And what a nice loud noise it is! I tried to scare him away but he just laffed an laffed and hammered some more. I'm sure dis won't be da last of him. Sometimes he hammers on da metal chimney piece dat sticks out of da roof. Dat way the sound goes all the day through the house and efurryone in da neighborhood and all ofur female Woodpeckers from miles around can hear it.

Angie, you look kind of preturbed - maybe you should go outside and catch him and make him stop.
Personally I think a little Frank Sinatra would work better...

You look like you have something to say in that picture, Angie! Were you about to give that woodpecker a piece of your mind?
ReplyDeleteThe woodpeckers come and eat the peanuts that hang on our tree. They peck peck peck until they are gone, and the little birds don't get chance to eat. We want to catch them.
ReplyDeleteWoodpeckers do not seem very smart. Here is what Woody Woodpecker says:

Woodpeckers, we don't get those in Brooklyn. Us Kitties we like to do the walk on stomach trick too.
ReplyDeleteUm, maybe we'z glad we don't haf any woodpeckers around here...
ReplyDeleteThose darned woodpeckers. FAZ
ReplyDeleteWe had a crazy woodpecker in our neighborhood when we still lived in Florida. He was very confuzillated because he always peckered on the metal electric pole. He must have thought he was a metalpecker.
ReplyDeleteI think it was very considerate of Beau Beau to wake your mom up (even if it was just meditating) by walking over her so she would be sure to be awake for the noisy sounds of spring. I like to walk across my mom when she's sleeping too:)
ReplyDeleteThat's a different twist to an alarm clock. Never had a woodpecker peck on the house, just the trees.
ReplyDeleteps - I tagged you for a meme today!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh! I'm sure gwad there are no woodpeckers awound here. I would wove to see the wook on mine Mummy's face if a woodpecker comes and start hammewing while mine Mummy is doing a wecording though. Heheh...
ReplyDeleteWoodpeckers are SO noisy. We used to have one every spring in Houston. Thank goodness, not here in Maryland....yet!
