Woodpecker stop killing my tree

Wood shavings at the base of the tree

A resin rimmed nest for the woodpecker

One of the Canarium trees has a nicely shaped hollow, made by the golden backed woodpecker. I have never seen the bird but Rangan, my field guide has and I believe him. The nest has been carved out so beautifully and has a resin lined rim. Only wish the woodpecker had chosen a larger tree, this one is too young to be bored into so much. Not only has the bird been nesting since the past 6 months, he/she has been actively chipping away at the wood, as is evident from the wood shavings all around the base of the tree. Rangan is mighty upset and was looking at the tree and the nest yesterday and asking out loud to the bird, "did you have to pick on such a young tree, the tree will fall very soon."
