Yes, they are persistent little buggers. We had a hell of a time getting them out of our attic space, and they kept coming back and trying to get through the screen coverings afterward as well. They and non-native house sparrows are most numerous in my neighborhood—and the greediest at my neighbor's feeders—and I'm glad we have a healthy population of red-tailed hawks in the vicinity to keep them in check.
Love the videos!
