The Purpose of A ''Pileated Pest''

Description

After remembering seeing a Timon and Pumbaa episode on Youtube, I was informed about woodpeckers and why they peck wood. When I was little, I used to thought that woodpeckers were like beavers: eating off the bark of a tree. But it turns out, years later, that woodpeckers only dig their bills down into the inside of a tree for a search of insects: their personal pot of gold to find. Because of the fact that woodpeckers are insectivores, they will peck away trees and any wooden things to find some bugs. They would go after anything like ants, termites, caterpillars, beetles, and all sorts! Even bees of all sorts like carpenter bees, honey bees, and more.

That's when an brilliant idea came to me!

If you remember that gag I used like twice, which is about some woodpeckers (or how Xavier refers to them as ''pileated pests'')) pecking away a wooden handle from a ax that Xavier hopes to eat (which he gets pretty angry at them for doing that), then you know what will become of this comic.

Good thing Archimedes pointed pointed out what I just said to you viewers the same to Xavier.

Maybe having his axhandle coated in honey wasn't a smart idea.

((As a matter of fact, the only reason woodpeckers would peck onto your house is if there is a bug nest like bees, termites, or ants. It's best to remove the nest to prevent those birds from leaving damages on your house. Just remember that!))
