My Woodpecker

I have a woodpecker in my tree, tap, tap, tap This noise is killing me I want to shoot him out of the tree But killing is not inside of me He taps all morning and all day long This noise is killing me Why couldn’t it be a bird singing a song Or an owl hooting at me Nope, it had to be a woodpecker messing with me This noise is killing me Now he has his family and it’s triple taping I have thought about a chain saw and cut down the old oak tree But if I did he would just move to the tree next door to me This noise is killing me

G'day Bobby … woodpeckers sound like it has irritating habits, a bit like a cicada. Find out what predator bird a woodpecker fears and give them a dose of taped calls - I can read your frustration - Lindsay
