If only the little woodpecker had stored some eggs instead of acorns, they're be rich AF.
You take those acorns out, and the whole house is likely to collapse, those are load bearing acorns. >

“Load bearing acorns” lol not a phrase you hear every day. >

Anything built from oak is a load bearing late-stage acorn if you really think about it. >

🤯🤯 >

Poor woodpecker working overtime and probably never understood why its acorns were going missing. >

The squirrels in the area are like "that motherfucker" >

Squirrels Union will not be happy >

I find it hard to believe... That's 2 years of acorn crop on my yard.. from half a dozen major trees.
He'd be welcome in my neighborhood..  but we'd need to create a wall just for him. >

Woodpecker farming: "it's just walls of acorns, far as the eye can see." >

Thatd be pretty cool. >

well, they're walls. the eye wouldn't be seeing very far. >

What's the R factor of a wall full of acorns? How flammable are they? >

That might depend on how large any of the trees become.  From my experience those things will grow anywhere. >

Without any sunlight I doubt it. Seriously, this could actually serve as some free insulation!I would only be concerned by potential rot over time, depending on the surrounding humidity, though acorns seem generally to dry out fairly well in most conditions. But between two walls? >

Heard a knocking sound in front of my house.  It was a jerk woodpecker tryin to knock a hole into the wood around my front door.  Jerk. >

Only one species of woodpecker eats acorns. They don't eat wood. They eat bugs. If its tapping your house day after day it hears something in there. Get checked out for termites. >

Thank you.  I will do that ASAP. >

I'm surprised the owners didn't figure out something was up sooner. That bird must've been pecking at their walls constantly >

During daytime, while the owner is at work, I suppose!? >

I wouldn't complain about free insulation.... That shit's expensive.
