Anyone up for zombie woodpeckers?

OK, not zombies. But rather, BRAIN EATING. (warning, graphic video)

This is why I love being a scientist.

Also, woodpeckers are assholes.

Indisputably. Well known as the biggest jerks in the avian world. Not an easy reputation to achieve considering some of the competition like crows and mockingbirds.

I always thought they were Peckerwoods.

According to rule 34, there are those who can’t get up without zombie woodpeckers…

I, myself, am no ornithologist but I still vote hummingbirds as the biggest avian jerks. We’re just lucky they are so freaking tiny.
