However, nothing could have prepared him for the astonishing discovery he made, surpassing anything he had ever encountered before.
Responding to a distress call, Nick Castro visited a residence that had fallen victim to a mischievous woodpecker, causing damage to its siding. Little did he know that the feathered culprit had a peculiar habit of creating holes for stashing its food supply.
The unfortunate consequence of this behavior was that the acorns, intended for later consumption, were making their way into the vacant wall cavities instead.
Anticipating the presence of acorns, Nick Castro proceeded to slice through the wall to extract them. However, he was completely taken aback by what unfolded next.
From a mere trickle, the flow of acorns quickly transformed into an overwhelming deluge, surpassing all expectations.
It was a nutty spectacle.
The Dodo interviewed Castro, who described the unceasing torrent of acorns, stating, 'They just kept pouring out without any sign of stopping. Initially, we believed the acorns only reached about a quarter of the way up the wall, but as it turned out, they were stacked up to the attic.'
To address the situation, Castro meticulously created additional openings throughout the house, but the steady stream of acorns persisted.
Astoundingly, a staggering 700 pounds of acorns emerged from the walls, eventually filling up eight large trash bags.
"I've never encountered anything quite like it," Castro exclaimed, marveling at the astonishing sight.
The woodpecker had undoubtedly been hard at work.
Maintaining their commitment to the humane treatment of animals, Nick's Extreme Pest Control followed their policy and refrained from euthanizing the woodpecker in this situation.
Instead, they opted to patch up the exterior holes she had created. By installing new vinyl siding, the homeowner aimed to dissuade the bird from using the house as a food storage site and encourage her to seek an alternative location.
Ultimately, this approach benefits the woodpecker, as her diligent efforts in gathering acorns were proving futile in this particular setting.
