Just watched a news video of 700 lbs of acorn's stashed in the walls of a house. Decided to look up more about acorn woodpeckers and here I am! True story!...Amazing Creatures"! Great video! 😊👍👍

That’s why we both got here. I’m curious and want to learn more about these birds.

One of my favorite glimpses of these woodpeckers came from my window where I watched one woodpecker sending acorns down a small gutter pipe from the roof top to its friend posted down below! Ingenious!

This is the equivalent of me saving money and counting it daily to see if it's still the same amount xD

Yeah except the value of said currency actually fluctuates whereas an acorns value does not. So your poor attempt at a joke really only works if youre a child or a moron.

[@yddgra]

so you can say, the woodpecker spends a lot of time rearranging their nuts

[@austinpigg4201]

If you take a good look one of the woodpeckers has bracelets on its legs.

[@silverfox9004]

that probably means it's been banded, which is used to track migration and lifespan by scientists. They record where and when they catch the bird, add a band with identification, and if it had one already they add data to their database

[@davidsalazar13]

Am I dreaming, or is Paul Giamatti the narrator?

Ah, THAT'S why while trying to figure out whose voice that is, I kept picturing Adam Savage even though I knew it wasn't him.

How do they eat those acorns? How do they break the shells?

[@cmtippens9209]

If they can drill holes into the tree, they can crack a little acorn.

[@Bob9999]

This video depicts the peckers just doing their thing and pecking trees. How charming. However on my rural property year after year they have constantly pecked into the cement siding of my house and shop buildings and have caused thousands of dollars in damage! I get the siding repaired and repainted and then they just return and destroy the repairs.

[@tankman20064]

Kill the bird

[@electricfishfan7159]

I wonder if there is a coating you could use that they wouldn’t like? Gardeners put capsaicin on plants, for example, but I know birds have bad senses of smell so that in particular wouldn’t work. A friend of mine has wood and aluminum siding and they kept either damaging it or banging the metal, but one day they randomly stopped.

[@depremere3991]

They do that for attracting mates , i think

[@4rumani]

"your" property is only yours to other people 😂

[@jimcole2648]

I see they have some type of tags on their legs.
