Shoreline Wildlife Management Woodpeckers and birds

If you have a woodpecker tapping on your home, your not alone. Our office receives calls
for them on a regular basis. Connecticut has several kinds of woodpeckers with some more
fond of houses than others. The Downy, the hairy and the flicker along with the occasional
red bellied woodpecker are all prone to hitting a house. The reasons vary. The bird will
sometimes be looking for food in the siding as in the form of insects. Other times, it may be
making noise to attract a mate or claim a territory. Quite often, it will bore clean through
attracted to a home and then taking the proper coarse of action to stop any more damage.
When done properly, Deterring birds off the siding or trim of a structure is very effective
and in all but the most extreme cases, is all that is needed.
We can fill holes and repair the damage as well. Let our years of experience working with
these birds work for you.
Other species of birds we deal with
on a regular basis include house
sparrows, European starlings and
pigeons. All introduced to this
country, they have flourished here
and do tend to cause problems for
home and building owners.
Whether it is sparrows in a dryer
vent, a 5 foot high staring nest in an
attic or pigeons and seagulls on the
peak of a roof, we have worked on it
before and can solve your bird
problem, efficiently and safely.
