Woodpecker Damages Dozens Of Cars Due To High Testosterone

Thursday, April 24, 2025 at 8:00 PM

A woodpecker searching for a mate seems to be picking a fight with his own reflection. Rockport, Massachusetts resident Janelle Favaloro posted on Facebook that 20 vehicles have been damaged by the bird, who may be seeing himself in car mirrors and going on the attack. The male could also have elevated testosterone levels due to breeding season. Despite the damage done, neighbors don't seem to mind. "It's turned into such a nice thing for the neighborhood, because it's getting neighbors to talk to each other, and it's a nice break from politics and the stock market," Favaloro said. (newser)
