Years ago we kept having birds crash into our sliding glass door. Eventually we hung a vividly-colored windsock, which did help. But with your 10 foot wide width, that would be a whole lot of windsocks, lol.

We are being awakened every morning (too early!) by this persistent huge woodpecker. Just as we’re falling back asleep again, he comes back and pecks again, and so loud. It sounds like an automatic g*n being fired.

And, it’s a BRICK house! No wood! I’ve tried spraying ammonia along the gutters (where I think he is actually pecking) but unlike bears who hate ammonia, this bird remains unaffected and determined to drive us crazy!

We use fake owl to discourage the big birds.

The red-headed woodpecker in our area NOW eats out of my bird feeder. Not pecking anymore around the house.:^)
