3 million have watched these clown-faced woodpeckers bedazzle trees in the most bizarre way
Acorn woodpeckers fiercely defend the ancient oaks trees in its territory, storing thousands of acorns within its bark.
These bright-eyed, clown-faced woodpeckers have a nifty way of storing their food, but it may trigger trypophobia in some viewers. The appropriately-named acorn woodpeckers absolutely love — you guessed it — acorns. This particular family lives in California's Carmel Valley where ancient gnarled oaks have stood for 500 years.
Each family of woodpeckers stakes a claim to half a square kilometre of grassland and oaks, fiercely defending their trees from rivals. That's because every fall, the oaks produce thousands upon thousands of tasty acorns. As far as acorn woodpeckers are concerned, acorns are as good as gold . To store them for the upcoming year, the acorn woodpeckers drill small holes in the bark of a tree and wedge an acorn inside, "tattooing" the tree with thousands of acorns. And we mean ALL OVER the bark of the ancient oaks.
