I’m not baffled by that yaffle

Re: pine heartwood Bird-millennials:

until they acquire or build their own cavities.
Building a new cavity is a process
that can take as long as 13 years.
Who would ever want to leave a heartwood?

Put down that axe
give them a chance
have mercy on the woodpecker home
