Why do woodpeckers peck? For the Acorn Woodpecker (Melanerpes formicivorus), it’s a matter of hoarding. To prepare for a long winter, it collects acorns and pecks holes in trees to store its food. It lives in a colony in which all adults share the responsibility of finding, storing, and protecting the acorns. One bird is usually on watch duty, keeping an eye out for thieving squirrels or predators such as birds of prey. Trees can have as many as 50,000 holes from all the pecking, with all or most of the holes stuffed tightly with acorns. Photo: Mike’s Birds, CC BY-SA 2.0, flickr

How to deter owls from snatching chickens?

I'm working at a school right now that has a fenced off and roofed little area for their chickens in the courtyard. Despite having a roof, open coop, and being surrounded by buildings on all sides, a great horned owl has been preying on the chickens, horrifying the kids. Is there any effective safe way to deter the owl?
