About the Woodpecker
Woodpeckers are birds that hammer their strong beaks into tree trunks to find insects and dig out nest holes. They brace themselves against the bark with stiff tail feathers and reach deep into the wood with a very long tongue. A woodpecker can peck many times a second without hurting its head, thanks to a spongy, cushioned skull. This printable fits a forest or backyard-birds unit, and the pointed beak makes a natural place to start.
- They live nearly worldwide, except Australia and the polar regions.
- Drumming on wood both finds food and signals other woodpeckers.
- A woodpecker can peck around 20 times a second.
