    IIRC this theory was debunked some time ago by a study. If you think about it, any dampening within the skull would lessen the force of the pecking and the bird would have to hammer away harder.

    Reminds me of a joke I’m going to attempt to translate:

    • Why do woodpeckers have beaks?
    • So they don’t smash their heads against the tree.

    Oh I thought they’d experience more than 1000 grams of force whilst pecking 😜

    All woodpeckers are just really good at functioning with chronic brain damage.
