That evil woodpecker that terrorized Ritchie in The Dick Van Dyke Show was based off a real bird

“Eagle eyed fans?” I see what you did there, Uncle Snappo!

Birds 🐦 scare me. And it's worse when they 💩 in your hair. 😱

sometimes when I'm walking in the woods, I hear a bird that sounds almost like it's laughing.

I don't remember that episode, interesting story. Thanks Bob.

We used to have some roosters that tried to fight. I would walk outside with a stick just in case. My mom had a bigger one. Dad said if she hit a rooster with it, we'd have to pick him. Things at the cemetery could be worse. What if there were problems with their main residents? This was a good episode. How sad that the parents didn't believe Richie until Millie Harper saw it? But most of us would find such a story hard to believe. Rob Petrie did save the day by catching the bird. The episode had one long-term effect on me. To this day, I try to comb my hair outside. Did any strands end up in some bird's nest? Who knows?

To me, Woody Woodpecker had a real annoying laugh.
