Woodpeckers, as is well known, store acorns to survive the winter. This is the foundation of their diet, directly affecting their success in breeding come spring.
They usually stockpile acorns in natural “granaries” — tree trunks, for example, by drilling numerous holes into them.
However, sometimes woodpeckers use walls and roofs of houses for their storage needs — and even telecommunications antennas. In fact, the one shown in the video, for example, had 150 kilograms of acorns spill out of it.
