Thank you Supraja. Last year I wrote about it when I heard it on metal for the first time. Then it started again recently :)

I guess we have to rename these birds. They're not just woodpeckers!

Good point Gershon! MetalPeckers or Multi-peckers lol. Thank you.

Heidi, I did not know that woodpeckers would strike metal. This would be very noisy. Hugs.

Hi Darlene. I didn't know ether until last year, but they do. It is a territorial thing and I read they also have insulated brain protection! Thank you. Hugs :)

I see a cracked beak! He needs to discover the old sycamore tree out back.

Hi Milton. I have been here for years with lots of woodpeckers on the trees. Then, last summer one was banging on metal roofs for the first time and this year one has started to. Thank you :)
