doesn't look like any target area shown in photo? with out aerial inspection can't really determine the extent of damage.

i reckon if there is no target area then leave the tree as is and give the cockies what they want. install nesting boxes or hollow logs in the 3 way fork, encourage them to chew on something else upon returning or have habitat ready for them to move into?

worst cases scenario, if you can talk client in to it, annual inspections of damage. i couldn't imagine limb failure caused by that damage for atleast a couply years if not more.

i know that human safety is a priority, however trees and birds have been this sort of thing for a long time, and we should let them continue this behaviour as much as we can.
