Oh dear. I live in Tucson, Arizona and today a Gila Woodpecker was drumming on my house. That's common in spring. The males are being territorial. I was interested in what you were saying about the Cuckoo. We have Roadrunners and they're members of the cuckoo family.

I do not know what woodpecker dreams mean, but I did enjoy reading this essay. I think birds know a lot, much more than many realize.

That being said, I will ask Arya the Cockatiel, my faithful companion, but he does not often share the secrets of the avian world. Not even with me.

Thank you so much Perry. I agree with you, they definitely know a lot but I also think (like Arya, by the sounds of it) they're a secretive bunch and like to keep us on our toes.
