Sounds like you didn't use the arsenic foil.Well, the shiny foil only worked for one day... bird pecked right through it.

Be careful. Woody is protected by the Feds.
With my method, it would be suicideBe careful. Woody is protected by the Feds.
Did you hang the shiny foil in strips so that they'll wave around in the wind or did you put up one large piece?
If one large piece, consider cutting those foil into strips and sticking multiple strips so that they all wave around in the wind and reflecting the sun in multiple angles.
You can also tie a plastic bag to a string and attach the string to the wall so that the bag will wave around in the wind. All these things, including shiny stuff, waving and moving around tend to keep birds away. I do the same thing (foil and plastic bags) on my lawn when I do seeing/overseeding to keep birds from using my lawn as a all-you-can-eat buffet.
One damn determined little bird thereI did have many shiny foil in strips waving around the wind, as well as foil over the hole it's made. I think it ripped off the foil strips and pecked right through the other part.
I've been waiting for a fully automatic repellant solution to arrive, but to prevent further damage I put a plate of 3/16 steel over the hole for now.

They love steel.. anything that magnifies their hammering they like.I did have many shiny foil in strips waving around the wind, as well as foil over the hole it's made. I think it ripped off the foil strips and pecked right through the other part.

Yay, 9 year old boys are now obsolete.Wow....that is one VERY determined bird. You might need something drastic, like a fully automated, motion sensing sentry gun that shoots paintballs.
