I have a #treaty with the local #downyWoodpeckers. The terms are: (a) I acknowledge that I harmed the #woodpeckers by cutting down a very large, old oak tree; (b) as recompense, I provide #suet feeders year-round, and (c) the woodpeckers agree to stop banging on my house.
It took 4 months to negotiate this treaty, and it is in constant jeopardy because other #birds are harassing the woodpeckers and eating all the suet.
#BlueJays are the worst, but even other woodpeckers are doing it.
