It's an introduced bird that is a cavity nester. It competes with
native birds,like bluebirds and flickers and wins...Which is not a good thing.
You have mentioned your wife is terrified
of birds before,which is really hard for me to
wrap my head around since I've had birds as
pets since I was a kid and enjoy watching them. (Except starlings,which I
want to kill on sight.)
