    They jam the acorn in hard enough that you have to break the acorn to get it out. If they put it in too small a hole, though, it breaks and rots. Too big a hole and they get taken.

    EDIT: clearly didn’t read closely enough. PBS says that woodpecker families run security on their stashes. So they basically just attack anybody who tries stealing. So I guess the ID tech is ‘eyes’.

      Not only did you just repeat the information already given in the original post, but you didn’t even address the guys question you’re responding to.

        Woops, you right. Didn’t read carefully enough. I’ll add the answer in an edit.
