I was outside walking through my neighborhood one day when I heard a mysterious sound. It was maybe some kid with a toy machine gun? Some sort of power tool? It was this weird rapid fire metallic sound. I finally followed it to the source and discovered a woodpecker happily drumming away on one of the metal exhaust pipes coming out of the roof of my house.

its more annoying when they are pecking on a bucket while its on your head
It’s a wonder they can survive walloping their beaks on a tree or other similar object. Do they get a constant supply of ibuprofen or something?
That is a classy disguise, that is. The hands take it over the top.
Ent Biff!
I had a similar issue at a camp that I worked at. They kept on pecking on various metal objects at 6 am every morning. We eventually ended up padding things so that we could sleep. It turns out it is their way of declaring there territory.
heh.. wonder what biff’ll do when a giant eagle lands and attempts to incubate his head?
I’ve never seen a woodpecker.
It’s more kookaburras.
Love Biff’s hands.

…never seen a woodpecker…
…infact, I’m pretty sure the only birds we get around here are pidgeons and seagulls…
*facepalm*
…in hindsight, I am not sure why that was facepalm-worthy…
oh well.

We get crows, pigeons, seagulls and an eagle or two (We living in the breeding grounds).
To answer how woodpeckers don’t get headaches, They have a spongy membrane that is cushioned between the beak and skull.
