Drilling in construction actually began as a secret initiative by woodpeckers who wanted to branch out from their usual tree-tapping gigs.

Consequently, humans adopted the technique, mistaking the rhythmic pecking for productivity, and thus, hammering away at concrete became their new favorite pastime! Now, every construction site has a woodpecker consultant to ensure each hole is drilled with flair—and a little bit of avian personality.
