Talk about a loud bird when they are trying to attract a mate. I have one that sets up camp at 5:30 every morning on my stove pipe cap and makes a huge racket. It sounds like a machine gun and wakes my 2 year old up every morning. I must look like a crazy old man running outside with my bathrobe, cursing, throwing small stones at my stove pipe to get the little sucker to fly away. I have resorted to keeping a small cup of landscape stones in the house so I have them handy when "woody" shows up. I swear to god this damn bird is taunting me now.
