This woodpecker is very confused about trees.

In Lodz, Poland, a woodpecker landed on the shoulder of one of the city's animal patrolmen and, naturally, started pecking away at his neck.

The patrol officer couldn't stop laughing and animal control posted the video to their Facebook to spread the joy.
