Do they eventually kill the tree?
Only a guess, but I'd go for not killing the tree. Think of the
maples and birches that are tapped by humans for their sap every
year and survive quite well. I doubt that even a flock of the birds
working in concert could kill trees.
Did you see all the holes in the bark?
