The trick with fake snakes works for a little while. We have Red Headed Woodpeckers down here and one developed a facination with pecking my metal chimney cover (7am and it echoed throughout the whole house). Doves also liked the spot because the chimney amplified their voices. I placed a rubber snake around the top of the chimney and no more bird noises. However, the snake has since disappeared - I fear it was taken as prey for an Osprey. I will be replacing the snake soon.
