#1 Tree: OH MY GAIA! You have NO IDEA how GOOD that felt right now. I mean sure you tore off my bark but that ITCH that those bugs have been giving me was a bitch!
Fun fact: many woodpeckers, pre-drill a series of holes into healthy trees. To encourage insects to move in. They farm them. They also kill perfectly healthy trees doing so. I had a beautiful snowball tree, then a woodpecker put several bands of holes and starved it.
I have an enormous callery pear in my front yard that one made HEAVY work of something like ten years ago. Holes every 1 inch or so for about two feet around the tree, and about two inches between each row for something like six feet up the tree.

That woodpecker is better with its beak than most tradespeople with a hammer and chisel 🤣 the skewer was phenomenal too. #goals

My cousin hates those birds in #2 Avid fisherman, despises them because they kill everything whether they can eat it or not.

A woodpecker skull can experience around 100g's of force during impact, crazy birds.

the back of the skull of the woodpecker are cushioned by the anchors of their tongues to prevent headaches

#2 dude it pierced that fish so easily, these things could just fly down and stab you in the throat if they so pleased
MakeItBackAlright
Wild how precise that stab was, literally killed the fish with one blow. Right into in the heart looks like?

#1 pretty sure that's a Pileated Woodpecker. We have one in the woods behind us and that thing is LOUD. They're also huge.
