I came to realise that the noise was indeed coming from a magpie and i wasn t actually crazy.
Noisy magpies on roof.
One day i was across the road playing with lacey and ma was along for the ride and the siren aka magpie went off.
Magpies don t make noises like police cars.
The magpies go into our guttering and pick up moss and leaves throwing them down onto the conservatory roof which makes quite a noise.
Very rarely i m woken by the birds the dawn chorus in the spring can be quite spectacular.
I have a heavy cedar shake roof and the moisture and mildew.
The cold at night was making the framing beams to expand and contract causing an annoying rhythmic ticking noise.
The roofing company used screws throughout the roof to help.
I told hubby and he feigned interest and belief.
Whether it s pigeons magpies sparrows or a different breed entirely birds can be a major nuisance when they decide to take up residence on your rooftop.
The we still had this ticking noise going on in our bedroom.
Thankfully there are plenty of ways to get these.
After much consideration i decided it was probably the numerous magpies around my area.
I assumed they must be looking for grubs seeing as they were losing so much moss to the ground.
Many mornings and throughout the day i hear crows on my roof pecking and banging for some reason.
How to keep birds off the roof.
Turns out the drywall wasn t secured properly to an exterior wall.
