https://answersingenesis.org/birds/what-we-knew-about-woodpecker/

: Woodpeckers have a spongy bone in their skull that acts like a shock absorber against concussions.

Well-meaning scientists operated by this information for decades. Many people in the creationist community even referred to this feature as proof of an amazing designer who provided protection for these magnificent birds.

But scientists recently discovered that this long-accepted fact isn’t true. Does that mean God is a bad designer—or that he isn’t the designer of these birds at all? Of course not. But it does mean that we need to adjust how we talk about the woodpecker’s design in the light of this new discovery.

What the Pictures Showed
In the 1970s, scientists studied the structure of woodpecker skulls to understand how the birds avoided concussions. They hoped to provide information that could help develop safety systems, such as for vehicles and helmets. It seemed reasonable that the porous bony structure in the woodpecker’s skull allowed the beak to plow into wood while slowing down the skull as it absorbed some of the shock and protected the brain from injury.

But even in a 1976 article, these scientists recognized that if the skull absorbed some of the energy, then every thrust would have to be stronger to accomplish the same degree of penetration.1 Despite this apparent conundrum that seemed to defy the laws of physics, the idea of the shock absorber in the skull slipped into common lore.

heres the $84 million dollar question. how can all scientists be so far off, yet retain their monetary collectables. it appears the Khmer Rouge was right all along. it was all a huge wealth ploy. every bit of it.

right. yeah? it's not like there were no woodpeckers. I'd of thought they'd have killed a few thousand woodpeckers in order to solve that problem YET they can in their minds legitimately claim that there are dyson spheres. How can anyone believe these folk at this point. We laugh in their general direction.
