Confused Woodpecker

[davidsquall351]

LMAO Great footage!!

[nr4dw]

he likes the sound...it's different....LMAO!!!!

[spacecowboy7580]

I think the question should be, how is it holding on to a metal drainpipe...did you put superglue on there?

[jmontalto21]

I got one of these things in a tree outside my bedroom window...

[urbanartlife]

ahaaahhha



[chickun1soup80]

damn. if a woodpecker could give head, it'll make these silly human hoes look silly

[MrShinzuzu]

I bet they give good blowjobs.........:D

[2010shemaiah]

lol so nince :)

[Bk94541]

Red headed with BIG belly,he/she sooooo cute..

u should go to home depot buy some wood sticks for him so he could come back

[cegoins25]

either it's confused or making a morse code

[Rainy9]

What kind of crazy mixed up drainage system is that? lol But seriously.

[Terrathrax]

I had one pecking my satellite dish. Silly bird.

[wow2h85]

nice video camera zoom

[Damienf77]

damn! great acoustics on this tree!

[TheXGRACE]

YUP-true!He is attracting females:) In my friends backyard Woody was banging to the antenna post! All neighbours noticed ha ha.

[warero]

come and get this pussy yo. other male birds "she is a whore

[nddlj]

"This isn't a tree, but if I keep pecking maybe it will turn into one"

[wolfganghofmeier]

Hilarious! Amazing that he could hang onto a metal pipe without a problem.

[HeyNowItsLea]

He be like " wtf is this, this ain't no damn tree"

[uabm]

@HeyNowItsLea LMFAO

[websuspect]

Evolution fail.

[Dajizoman]

So lame!

[t0easy4m3]

my gf does those exact same head movements ;-)

[propyropower]

thats funny as hell,

[RedPaladin]

Sounds like it was trying to play the drum intro to Fear Factory's Demanufacture!! That bird is HARDCORE!!

[bucklemunki]

woodpeckers sometimes drum due to air-pressure changes-eg-when a storm is iminent.they have a double cavity skull to absorb tha impact of their drumming,and changes in air-pressure create pressure within their skull-hence they drum sometimes to relieve this pressure.Some Native American peoples called woodpeckers 'Thunderbirds'.they're ace.i LOVE woodpeckers.

[8jbird]

They love to make a really loud drumming noise. It may also be territorial.

[sixstringsmark]

There are a lot of similar videos on YouTube - the birds seem to enjoy the ruckus they make on these metal objects. I think it's very entertaining!

[PilotUTA]

Actualy they use these types of objects to attract mates

[BigDuckKetterer]

Hairy Woodpecker declaring his territory to other males!!!!! Still funny as hell though!!! ROFLMAO !!!!!!!!

[chicagobirder]

@BigDuckKetterer it's a yellow bellied sapsucker

[Empathisantin57]

Holz ....soweit das Spechtauge reicht....aber "no worms and foot"....

[Sparrowhawk1031]

That is definitely a yellow-bellied sapsucker. It has red on the chip and head and the drumming pattern is irregular.

[shibfilet]

that was really funny. i always thought woodpeckers suffered from some amount of brain damage

[evaant14]

lol i think he hit his head 2 hard

[Throatjab]

they use their beaks against resonant objects to communicate. it's called 'drumming.' even if it knew that that it was a drain pipe, it might still drum on it to produce the noise.

[daroadrambler]

That woodpecker has just about ripped the gutter off that house. Check it out again.

[rocksoliddude1]

dumb bird

[waqasy]

lets fuck with their environment and then call them dumb.

[Avaitora]

Then lets destroy the enviroment and let human died

[smilingFMAkitty]

this is nothin compared to the confused woodpecker at my house. it landed on my window. true story.

[alienredwolf]

I don't believe you.

[smilingFMAkitty]

its true. really. i was just sitting at my desk when i heard a thud at my window. i looked at my dog who was sitting on my bed and she was starring at the window. i then got up from my desk to look out the window and the woodpecker was just perched there. i'm surprised my dog didnt start barking.

[alienredwolf]

You must be lying.

[88misty]

lol, thats funny. cute.

[chas717]

A wood pecker drums on the top of an electrical transformer near our house, and I have seen them peck on aluminum ladders too

[ThePicoides]

wreckingball34 is correct. By drumming on a metal drainpipe, this yellow-bellied sapsucker is actually displaying its intelligence. The louder the sound, the farther it carries, and the more potential mates it might attract.

[airscrew1]

@ThePicoides They might even be using a form of Morse Code for woodpeckers.

[txstoryteller]

Too funny; bet birdie needed Excedrin for his head afterwards! LOLOLOL Five stars!

[throwerx]

haha aww

[rmsamsscs]

this is also to signal to competitors that this is his territory :) cute!

[wreckingball34]

He's not confused. They drum on metal drains all the time. In fact, they'll drum on anything to attract or call a mate.

[andyjarhead666]

@wreckingball34 For you or any other ornithologists.... I whitnessed one banging on a stop sign once... same thing or does the red have significance?

[revengechunga]

it's not the one who is confused.

[NatureMan100]

lmao thats funny when he pecked

[DeStryke51]

hahaha lmao

[tomslatincom]

he pecked at the drain!

[deathxxx127]

he never pecked
