ooh my gosh, we have a Red-Bellied Woodpecker that comes to the feeder, grabs some sunflower seeds, flies up to the Screech Owl Box, knocks, sticks his head in, knocks, sticks his head in, then acts annoyed and flies off. I think he just wants Mr. Owl to come out and play.
There is nothing like being woken up by a bird trying to prove it's the best/brightest by jackhammering it's skull into the loudest, most resonant thing it can find.
"Knock, knock."

"Are you the owner of this tree?"
"..."
"The govt recently passed several new energy tax credits and incentives for tree-owners like you. Have you considered how much you could save by installing solar panels?"
