What Is Doing This And How Can I Stop It? Thanks

I would wrap the area with burlap to deter further attacks. Hang a suet feeder nearby to distract the bird with nore concentrated nutrition.
Kate I agree, applying a repellent is better than jsut blocking the bird's access to the area. Whether that's done with burlap or whatever, it doesn't need to stay on forever.Kate Butler said:The old timers here use pine tar (creosote) painted into the holes made by the birds. They don't like it one little bit !!
A heavy rain will take most of it off, I think. Yeah, the gooey stuff would have several issues, from application challenge to trapping litter to aesthetics to mess later as it degrades.Kate Butler said:How often does the aerosol Chew-Stop have to be reapplied? .
