Hi Tweets,

the message below was forwarded to me by a colleague. I've heard of
flickers driving people crazy drumming on metal chimneys during courting,
but this seems rather ridiculous. Do any of you have any experience with
this and/or advice for Ellen?

Thanks,
Katie

Hello,
I can't find the exact person to contact concerning this problem. My home
is under daily seige by North American Flickers. We have 40 small holes,
which we have filled as soon as discovered, and 4 major holes that we have
covered with sheet metal and painted to match the cedar siding. We have
removed our National Geo Bird Feeders and Suet feeders.

Please refer me your expert(s) on this problem.

Thanks for your time.
