Don't have that problem. Brick house with vinyl wrapped alum. trim. They do like the old pine trees though.(pine beetles)
Sling shot works wonders.

 Got out Karen's B.B. Gun and knocked one off the satellite dish that it was in love with. TAP TAP TAP everyday all day. This was a little fella, now the Pileated one which has a body of 12-13 inches tall would take a little more power. Had one drill a hole in the shop similar to the one you showed only a little larger. Sneaked up on him one day, didn't know they made them that big. They can sling some wood.

The one I got last week was a Downy Woodpecker, small but very cute, at least the cat next door thought so.

Hell no, that smart SOB Cardinal is still visiting us. I gave up on him and called a professional bird specialist, he tried for a week and didn't have any better luck than I've had. Even told me he wasn't going to charge me because that damn bird was so smart he just seemed to be laughing at him. He said the cardinals are very territorial which is why he keeps attacking the other bird he sees in the windows, you'd think if he was so damn smart he'd have figured out in the last 6 months he had met the enemy and it was him. Fake owl didn't phase him, nor did the rubber snakes and he is too damn smart to get a shot at. Anyway he just attacks the glass in the windows, doesn't do any damage, except to my great white hunter status.

Had a Cardinal like that here a few years ago MJ.  It'd drop out of a tree next to the garage window.  Land on a window air conditioner in that window.   Then try to just kick the chit out of the other bird he was sure was in the window staring back at him.  Dumb bird was there all of two spring/summer/fall cycles.  Even had the neighbors on that side laughing at him with all the racket he made.

I never tried to run him off though.  Was too amusing to get rid of.  He was stupid and funny at the same time.  That's a killer combination in red birds.

Problem with this guy is he starts at first light and usually at our bedroom window between 5:30 and 6:00 am.
It sounds like this guys dad and you're right, it is funny as heck. He puts on a show for company, ask Brian.

Out the garage window is funny.  Out the bedroom window is pellet gun targeting.  If ASPCA doesn't like it they should give the bird a pellet gun of its own.
