Acorn woodpeckers (𝘔𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘱𝘦𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘷𝘰𝘳𝘶𝘴) are the ultimate hoarders of the bird world

This species of bird uses trees for winter storage, which are called granary trees and may have up to 50,000 holes, each filled with an acorn. The acorn woodpecker’s main food source is insects, but acorns serve as key nutritional backup, allowing the birds to make it through the winter.

One more, just in case.

  Probably not. It’s not the holes that unsettle me, it’s more the acorns looking like some nasty sort of maggots I think
  
  Thank you for teaching me a new word.
I can't use these. I might need them later!
Squirrels must love these.
This is why we need spoiler tags. Boobs I can scroll by, this causes me to pause to recover.
Damn all these blackheads on my nose are nuts
