How do you stop woodpeckers from damaging cedar siding on a house?

Woodpeckers dont eat wood, what they want are the insects inside. Get rid of the bugs and you will be rid of the birds. Woodpeckers and carpenter bees will make holes in soft untreated wood so paint or urethane would be another fix.

Varying species of woodpecker and their respective egg sizes are listed below.

Pileated Woodpecker: 33.16 x 25.21 mm

Red-Bellied Woodpecker: 25.06 x 18.78 mm

Red-Headed Woodpecker: 25.14 x 19.17 mm

Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker: 22.44 x 16.92 mm

Hairy Woodpecker: 23.81 x 18.04 mm

Black-Backed Three-Toed Woodpecker: 21.32 x 18.94 mm

What are the predators of the crows?

It depends on if your talking about domestic cattle or wild bulls. For domestic cattle if you are out in the country wolves, foxes, or any wild canine might prey on your calves. If you keep a close eye on your cattle and maybe have a dog outside to keep them away its all good.

But remember wolves and other canines aren't bad they just need to eat something because we are destroying their homes and food.
