We have small peckers here
.
Though I have a bunch of trees around, they put a hurt on my chimney chase siding some years back (some wood rot behind the siding... now fixed) along with adjacent houses' chases. Thankfully they've gone back to the trees and I hear them all the time.
Birds are hateful critters in general.... they do not get along and play nice .
I also have hawks & crows around ... their "air wars" are like watching the WW2 aces in combat
