This is a level of petty I can get behind.
Northernwest
Really? I bet it's to keep woodpeckers away. Common tactic on wood shakes houses like this one. Doesn't look like a sunny spot either.

Wood siding. Definitely for woodpeckers.

Neighbor of mine does this exact thing (with ribbons and pans just like that, even CDs) to scare away birds. Methinks your BF got trolled.

Its for wood peckers. Anyone in a shingle house has gotten this desperate in the spring

It's not a wall mounted AC unit, the HOA doesn't care.

Because human spite and vengefulness have no bounds for some people.

I would love to know the reason

Its probably just to deter woodpeckers

Not buyin’ this. Prolly trying to ward off birds that peck at his termite infested house.

Once I was woke to the most insane pounding and couldn't figure out what it was. It was Woody. Woody Woodpecker.

Looks like the house is REALLY nervous about something or just finished a jog

Just rename your wifi hotspot to "white house sucks dick"

Weird. Used to be a tactic for scaring crows. Are the neighbors crows?

I had a lot of problems with robins flying into my windows this year.

It's to deter woodpeckers. Doesn't work.

Wait, are you trying to say your neighbors are NOT crows?!
AnythingMuchShorter
"Please calm down Matt, this is crazy, I'm telling you they're just from Jersey, they aren't crow people!" "Hey Matty, check out my new caw"
AnythingMuchShorter
"look at that, he decorated it with bottle caps, plastic jewels and other junk items" "Like I said, they're from Jersey"
TheDouche
Din’t know why you’d need to scare crows, but these can work for woodpeckers, the devil’s bird.
milkshakaman
Yes I hated mine. Esp when it's mating season! Wack Wack Wack... And that's not their headboard banging.

So now, the neighbor has to install mirrors on the side of his house and the war has begun
sipos0
Mirrors? Huge parabolic reflector with fresnel lens which can set their neoighbours house on fire on a sunny day, you mean?
Abrausedteleprot
im pretty sure "used a deathray to set neigbours house on fire" is a crime
sipos0
It is just an art installation. If their house caught fire because of the unintentional sunlight reflected onto it, that is unfortunate.
libben
This is straight out of donald ducks magazine wars with his neighbour some years. Ahh the good old magazine times when you were young!
Klnwltrnk
Depends on the direction these are facing. Assuming this is the North hemisphere, if the pictured wall is facing south, then the hated
Klnwltrnk
neighbors north wall won't get any direct sunlight.

Do you want a resonance cascade failure? Because this is how you get a resonance cascade failure.
Aeav8r
There was an excellent Home Improvement episode with this very premise
astrid28
I was gonna say flood lights... but mirrors are cheaper.
BadLuck2277
are they though? a really big mirror is expensive and hard to transport...
Abrausedteleprot
buy smaller mirrors and fix them together, cheaper and easier to hide
KennyBlankenshipandVicRomano
Put up a Fresnel lens and raise their AC bill by hundreds of $$ every month
Abrausedteleprot
i thought these would be very expensive, but nope, less than $5
hajimedj
Install a magnifying glass on the roof of your house pointing the sun at the neighbour's

Giant mirror over house to deflect the sun beam directly back at the sun! There by destroying the true menace!
ExtremelyHappyGuy
The sun eventually overheats and explodes and takes out the neighborhood.
vfmatheus
Calm down there count Olaf
Shiftyeyesshady
Use a fresnel lense, cheaper and much more effective. My brother and i would melt concrete with one.
LoPhatJoe
Melt lots of thing with a fresnel, pretty amazing thing

ITS FOR MOTHER PECKING WOOD FUCKERS!

Crack of dawn, mini jackhammer starts up on the outside wall.

To properly fuck wood, soak it in wood first.
DocWino
Had one going at the metal flashing for a bit, very annoying. I do like the chatter they make though. Very noisy even when not pecking.

I have cedar siding and it’s a nightmare. This is most definitely the case. These people shouldn’t make stupid assumptions.

Yep! We finally resides with Hardieboard. $40k . Bastards

Every couple of weeks in the fall a woodpecker comes and tries to peck the same spot on a second story corner of the house...
tyrfin
...I wait until he's good and settled, then PUNCH HOLY FUCK out of the corner trim with my palm and he's off for another two weeks.

As a wood fucker, this is true.
