Same issue with the woodpeckers up here in N Georgia. They claim its, "Birding experts believe that woodpeckers choose metal for their drumming antics for two reasons. The first is to attract mates. The second reason is to establish their territory."

@falllineridge Год назад

Totally interesting about the woodpeckers. I just know it's loud! Sounds like a machine gun.

The woodpecker gets on the highest point to make the loudest noise to attract a mate.

Wes, the skittish pig is a male. He remembers that somebody took something from him. Now it is like this "No touchies, I don't want to loose anything else 🤣🤣🤣" They are going to love that much space. Well done. 👍👍👍Thank you for sharing. Take care of yourselves, be safe, and healthy 🇨🇦

A better spot now then the last spot you had them in more room to rome plus their cleaning up the area for you and you will save on less feed, if you have another piece of property that is over grown with brambles or unwanted grasses you can let the pigs take care of that for you, nice job, even your helper had a good time helping you, thanks

Oh yeah, lots of area in the pines with briars I'd love to get rid of. They seem pretty happy with the new space. Thanks for watching!

@joeahopelto8032 Год назад

Woodpeckers use the drumming sound as a mating call in springtime. The louder the sound the better. One favorite place is the metal of a fireplace. It carries farther than most surfaces.

@4wheelliving132 Год назад

I had a garden at my old house that was 750' away from the house and I just used garden hose. I would turn it on by the house and walk to the garden and get to the end of hose about the same time as the water. Not the best pressure but it worked. Just buy the cheapest you can find, or ask friends or family if they have any they're not using.

@SagebrushRambles Год назад

Have you considered inserting doweling, branches or something inserted through the chain links for the chickens to roost on? It keeps them out of the mud where they will get skin and feather conditions. Birds don't tend to hang out on the muddy ground unless they have no choice. Just an idea :)

@falllineridge Год назад

These are Cornish Cross chickens, really a totally different breed than most chickens. They get so fat so fast that all they really care to do is hang around on the ground. I've seen them literally laying on their bellies pecking at their food before. Butcher at 7-8 weeks of age, no real need for a roost.

I used to have a woodpecker that would use my gutters and the only thing I could figure is it was using it to call a mate since it's much louder than hitting wood and it only happened in the spring during breeding season

That's what several folks have said. Learned something new.

if you put the water barrel on a kind of pallet of some pieces of waste wood, you don't have to remove all that water from the barrel if you want to move it, but you can pick it up with the forks on the tractor loader

@robertherzog2087 Год назад

I suggest you set up the fence half in and half out of the woods area. This will provide some shade for them during the hot weather and they will root up and clear the brambles in the woods at the same time. Less mowing and future improved pasture under the trees.

My guess for the woodpecker is that metal is hard but sounds hollow so he's fooled in his quest to find food. But the bit about territory sounds better.
