Acorn woodpeckers (๐˜”๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด ๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฎ๐˜ช๐˜ค๐˜ช๐˜ท๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ถ๐˜ด) are the ultimate hoarders of the bird world

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.

Trypophobia brings on feelings of disgust or fear when you see patterns with lots of holes... This maybe it!

The pic is giving me an amount of trypophobia I didn't know I had

Tbh it's more about the bumps rather than the holes
