 [[Beret Guy]] observes a {{w|woodpecker}}. A woodpecker is a type of bird known for using its bill to bore holes into trees to get access to and eat the insects living inside. [[Megan]] notes that the bird hatched approximately a year ago. Beret Guy seems touched by this fact, and attempts to explain to the woodpecker that it is the woodpecker's birthday.
-Beret Guy leaves a present by the foot of the tree where the woodpecker is nesting. The woodpecker opens the present which turns out to be a power drill, a mechanical tool that is used to bore holes into wood, much quicker than a bird normally could. Not that this would be of much use to the bird, as the bird has no electricity{{Citation needed}} and so no means of powering the drill, let alone {{w|opposable thumbs}}{{Citation needed}} with which to operate the drill. In spite of this, the woodpecker has not only unwrapped the present; it has apparently accepted it, and flies off with it. However, this is Beret Guy who gave the woodpecker the drill. He may have given it some other means of working without electricity.

Also, remember that this is ''[[:Category:Strange powers of Beret Guy|Beret Guy]]'' who gave the woodpecker the drill: he may have given it some other means of working without electricity.
 The title text appears to be Beret Guy talking to the bird still, pointing out that he can get the bird an extension cord to operate the drill because, in his mind, they are friends. In actuality, the bird may or may not care about the drill or Beret Guy. An extension cord, also, would not do much good as the bird would still have no electricity, and if it did have a source of electricity and was able to use the drill, it wouldn't be able to fly further than the length of the extension cord, which isn't far for a bird. This could be a reference to [[509: Induced Current]].
