Winter is coming, and we have to pile up our stomach and hoard grain
This truth not only you understand me understand, birds also understand ~ in North America there is a kind of gray often stupid fufu [acorn woodpecker Melanerpes formicivorus], they eat large grain seeds (such as acorns) in winter, and will find some higher dry branches to make granaries, chisel out holes of various sizes to store wintering grain, in front of the door is not much, such a large pile of grain will also attract a lot of birds to rob, so their biggest task in winter is to be a scrooge, Eat and drink every day and look at the acres and three points of land at home
Of course, the acorn woodpecker also brings three benefits to the natural world: (1) the small peck will not eat all the seeds, and they will also start to turn to eating insects every spring, and these remaining seeds can wait for the opportunity to sprout into new life;
(2) The dead wood that is pecked open will accelerate oxidation and decomposition, becoming the source of nutrients for the growth of all things in the coming year;
(3) Even if the keeping is good, some seeds will be sneaked away by other animals, which gives many small lives more hope of survival
