The red bellied woodpecker's tongue wraps around its brain, then down through their nostril and out of their mouth. Not all species of woodpeckers are like this. This very cool creature also has stiff tail feathers that help this bird while pecking and it acts like a tripod while on the tree. This amazing little creature has four toes on each foot. Two toes facing forwards and two toes facing backwards. This allows this little bird to stand vertically or horizontally with ease. Every time the woodpecker pecks, it closes it's eyes, then opens them, refocuses on it's target, closes them again and then pecks. The reason that the bird does this is to keep it's eyes from getting knocked out each time that it pecks. That is how much force is used. This bird also has feathers covering its little nostrils to help keep wood chips and debris out.
