Cannot be a writing system at all. That would be preposterous. Just meaningless instinct driven scribbles.

It is a joke! Or shall we test it? Put ink on the tips of branches and let them scrape against a board with a piece of paper nailed to it? Or search for letters in the bark? But then that's confirmation bias. The ink-paper option seems better, then.
