Birds are DESTROYING my siding—HELP PLEASE!!!

A few months back, we finally got our house siding finished, and everything was looking great. But now that it's done, these birds show up every single day and are basically eating right through the material. We poured so much money into this project, and now it's just being destroyed. Any advice?

So, Who is the moderator in charge of this PDF? I swear, someone needs to come in here with a chainsaw and just tear the whole thing apart. 😁

I haven't really spent this much time laughing my head off over a single thread in a minute 🤣
I’m just sitting here picturing those birds—since you mentioned they show up like clockwork in the post—just descending on the place at the exact same time every day. They’d basically blanket three-quarters of the house, and you've got the whole family just standing there in tears, watching these little pests absolutely wreck the siding 🤣

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhahaahah 😂

Just buy some birdseed and scatter it around the yard. 👍

Show us the video, or we simply won't believe you! :-)

Those little straw houses...

Just a pro tip: hang one cat on the side of the building for every two square meters of wall space... I've tested it myself.

Go ahead and advertise the contractor. Apparently, they mixed sugar into the stucco, or whatever else they used to make the birds flock to the facade.

Nowadays, air rifles aren't nearly as pricey as they used to be, which honestly means you can just head down to the local range and practice your aim until you're blue in the face! 🤣

But what if the birds decide to eat the gun too? 🤷

Oh, please... he should just buy some birdseed and start tossing it at the neighbor's house instead.

Look at this bunch of Hansel and Gretel wannabes here.😛

Who? The birds?

Seriously though! If only we actually got some kind of benefit from them ☕

You should really look into falconry... it’s been a total game-changer for me.

Any tips?, because once you've put in the work to train them and build that bond—it's incredible—the birds won't even let anyone get close to the 9.3 miles 👍

What color is the exterior siding?

Frank... Frank Kockica.

I honestly thought you’d run into trouble eventually with this whole "house made of gingerbread and windows made of jelly" routine of yours.

Do you have foam insulation on the outside of your house?
Yeah, I do.
Well, then those birds aren't eating your siding—they're just using it to build nests😬.

Let's not be naive. There's a reason people say you can't judge a book by its cover.☕
