My house has copper gutters. They are green of course but they are
obviously old and quite solid compared to aluminum gutters. The
vertical section that brings water down to the ground has a hole in
it that lets water escape.

How would you repair this hole?

Without seeing the hole, I'd say use JB Weld on a small hole, or
solder on a piece of sheet copper if hole is big. How did the hole
get there? Large bird with sharp beak?

Don't really know. Bought the house in July and it was there then.
It's about a quarter in diameter.
