SONOMA COUNTY, Calif. — A whopping 700 pounds of acorns were found stuffed inside the walls of a home in Sonoma County, California. The culprits? A pair of woodpeckers. The discovery was made after one of the homeowners found mealworms coming from a bedroom wall. A pest control technician responded to the home, made a small hole in the wall, and thousands upon thousands of acorns just started spilling out.
