Evolutionists have found a Darwinian process for woodpeckers drumming on trees,
they say that it resembles how a bird sings.
Now, researchers
think birdsong and drumming may have both emerged from “evolutionary tinkering” in
an ancient series of connections in the bird forebrain for fine-scale movements
in display behaviour.
Woodpeckers are a Darwinian headache:
Woodpeckers are designed to withstand hard knocks. They have “skulls with spongy layers — particularly in the front regions — that cushion their brains. Robust neck muscles also help to soften the impact, while thick inner eyelids protect their eyes.”
Evolutionists believe that the earliest woodpeckers arrived at least “25 million years” ago, but they could never have survived if their
only option was to follow the Darwinian trial-and-error approach.

brains process tree-drumming sounds as if they're birdsong.
