This species of bird uses trees for winter storage, which are called granary trees and may have up to 50,000 holes, each filled with an acorn. The acorn woodpeckerโ€™s main food source is insects, but acorns serve as key nutritional backup, allowing the birds to make it through the winter.

Probably not. Itโ€™s not the holes that unsettle me, itโ€™s more the acorns looking like some nasty sort of maggots I think
