Anyone having or have had problems with birds, especially Cardinals sitting on their boat trailer, pecking like a woodpecker on there boat hull?
They are going to town on my hull. Making little white marks all over the place.
Its very annoying. We hear it all the time and check it out to see always the male cardinals doing this. I am trying this to scare them off.

That scared me off...outta here!
 
Try hanging tinsel. It's shiny, moves in the wind and works great with woodpeckers. Don't see why it wouldn't work for any bird.

Great now i gotta have xmass in July. Bad enough my wife turns our house into the north pole after Thanksgiving. Now i gotta turn my boat into a xmass tree. Lmao
 
Hahaha my brother used to have the same problem with the cardinals, they would sit on the door of his new Chevy truck admiring themselves in the mirror and sh!t all over the door. He put up a plastic owl and they haven't been back.
 
Snakes will help. A large fake owl will as well.
