She's teaching my two new BOs her styrofoam pecking ways, unfortunately! They have a whole acre of things to peck, but clearly eating the house is more fun. At least it's just insulation foam and not structural or anything, I guess.What about a fine metal mesh/screening cut and attached around the base of the house - would still allow expansion/contraction of the concrete but would prevent (?) pecking. At least successful pecking.
Can attest that, once they get a taste for it, they're going to find it unless it's covered.
The pictured culprit is extremely cute.
I thought about this, but would even hardware cloth be small enough mesh to keep them from just reaching through the holes and eating it anyway?
