Does this work for red cockaded woodpeckers?

Do not know works for sparrows and black crows in our area use it to keep them away from pool deck.

Not an expert on woodpeckers .... he was small with a red color on the back if his head. He certainly caused damage .... The owl just survived a snow storm and still works as described and more importantly, still no sign of the woodpecker!!!!

I use the bird-x tape to keep pigeons away. It works to keep pigeons away, but i don't know if it works to keep hawks away.

Yes. The size of the wire mesh around the feeder tube is far too small to allow grackles or anything larger than the smaller hedge birds; chickadee, wren, finch sized birds. I've had to replace the center tube as the plastic died from three years of UV exposure. Not hard to do and a $7 tube from Lowes was an almost perfect fit. I also created a coroplast cover to keep off the rain and discovered it gave some immumity to the smaller birds from a local Kestrel. Zero squirrel access.

We use it for two small parakeets. I believe it would be small and uncomfortable for your cockatiel.

It's hard to say, but I'd give it a try. Be sure to move it to different locations every few days. Birds are smart and will eventually catch on that it's a decoy. Good luck!

I have the squirrel buster mini (older version) on the upper deck. Doves cannot use this feeder as they are big and cannot sit on the four perches provided. Woodpeckers (big and small) cling onto the feeder and family of cardinals (big and small) sit on the perches to feed all the time. This is the newer version of the mini and is better constructed.

I'm not sure what type of bird you have, but it works to keep a parakeet or a cockatiel busy. I'm not sure if it would help other birds.

Cardinals feed at mine all the time. Even a red bellied woodpecker manages to feed on it. I've had mine for years & years and it really works to keep the squirrels from the bird food. Funny to watch them try though!

We did not have trouble, squirrels tried and got little, but the woodpeckers love it. I do not recall any other birds except the starlings.

Probably. I've seen red-bellied woodpeckers trying to get to the suet, failing and flying off.

Hi, I have no idea...but I've had all kinds of birds be turned away as they would fly into my deck's upper structure....so I would say, yes, would work for doves! I wish you luck with a very annoying situation.

I suppose it is a question of how far away the bird is. Some of the supersoakers will shoot a stream of water 25 or 30 feet and that would probably startle the woodpecker if you hit it with the water. I am a little doubtful because I would expect the woodpecker to fly away before you got close enough to shoot it. Why not use a garden hose with a spray nozzle.

Can't imagine it not working for any bird. I have canaries and finches. They took to it instantly. Cuts down on the mess but not completely. I like that it helps keep their food clean. I have bought four of them, if that speaks for anything. I would definetly recommend it.

It works on the squirrels about 50%. If you add a scarecrow, e.g. wooden or stuffed animal it works 100%. It should work on other animals too but I can not say for sure about the racoons. MB

No sorry. But there are others that would work great on Amazon . This unit is for smaller birds

Chris, Yes. In fact we've had really good results using it on woodpeckers. The key is isolating the target zone and being close enough with the mount. That means making sure you mount it within 15 feet of the problematic area where they're pecking or landing.Cheers,JonathanCustomer CareU-Spray Bugspray

Mine hasn't worked for ANYTHING. Deer love it, birds, I'm surprized it hasn't drawn in RATS.worthless.
