Can’t squirrels have door-to-door salesbirds? I remember as a kid, Mom getting Avon and Tupperware people at the door. So why not for the animal world, (at list in the comic strip universe)?
This is how the classic cartoon character Woody Woodpecker came to be. Creator Walter Lantz and his wife Grace were honeymooning in a cabin, and a noisy woodpecker kept them awake that night. Grace suggested to Walter to make a cartoon about the bird.
When I was a kid a woodpecker (actually a flicker) took to hammering on our chimney flashing every morning at daybreak. After several days I was tasked to stop him. A .22 rifle ended the problem.

Been having a woodpecker knocking on the side of my apartment for the last month, often yes right at first light…

One time I saw a woodpecker peck my sister’s cat.

My boss has a woodpecker that seems to have a preferred spot just outside of his home office. I hear him often on our TEAMS calls.

On the plus side, the woodpecker has opened up a new condo unit in the complex. Where do you think that entrance to yours came from, Mr. Squirrel?

Most people preface all their remarks to the woodpecker with:
Why you lousy #$%$#^^&%^&^&,

I remember I USED to have a woodpecker do that outside my room. I kept warning him, “Keep it up, Woody!”
