I don't know if I've mentioned before that my house is regularly assaulted by woodpeckers. My chimney has a steel UFO-thingy on top of it to keep birds from nesting in the chimney proper.

What comes out of the top? The invasion force? Or will it one day just open its eyes, stretch its legs, and walk away?
Houses: endless entertainment.
