     1. I agree with the apparent calmness of the weasel critique. In addit=
ion, if you were that woodpecker, wouldn&#39;t you be scared guano-less and=
 be trying to remove that weasel as if nothing else in the world mattered? =
I&#39;d expect a struggle.

     2. How much mass do you think a woodpecker can carry? Remember, size f=
or size, birds are a lot lighter than mammals, I suspect that weasel weighs=
 in at the same or more than the woodpecker. I strongly doubt that a woodpe=
cker could carry this much mass and continue flying.
