Saguaro Cactus Skeleton

Why Saguaro cactus die?
On a recent trip through Arizona and Gila Bend to Eloy, I noticed that there were thousands of Saquaros almost none that were healthy. They look as if they were eaten by insects. Is that correct? What kind of mistake? Why now, after hundreds of years? Some died completety nothing as a skeleton left. Typically, they were attacked at about two to three meters above the ground, and some were attacked with weapons in circulation. A friend suggested that birds could damage by burrowing into the plant to get food or drinks. Thank you to everyone who replied.
