Do you know why a woodpecker would want to chop wood?

Well it sounds as though they chop and not peck. Splitting hairs ..

Or I could say
I could also ask you to ask this question:
"how much wood would a woodpecker peck if a woodpecker would peck wood ...

No I'm not having a laugh at your expense, I would not be so rude, though some of the answers are funny.

To eat the bugs under the bark.

That is because there are bugs in trees so the woodpecker has to peck a hole in the tree so they can get to them. D'oh! Lol. Jk. Just dont pay attention to what the little cartoons say. Watch some Animal Planet, ok? :0 ) Hope this helps. C ya. Linzi.

Well just in case you are not having a luagh at our expense its because when they tap the wood it takes off small pieces in order that they can get creepy crawlies like wood lice etc to eat, But i know what you mean i walk down out local woods & it sounds like they are really laying into them, I mean is there a sound when a tree falls & no-one is there to hear it

Woodpeckers don't peck for wood...they peck to get insects that live in the wood.

they make burrows in trees to build a nest, and I think they eat little bugs from in the tree bark

What? do you mean "why would a woodchuck want to chuck wood?" that would make a little more sense.

Not only do they seek food that way, but they also communicate that way over domain boundaries .
