A sap sucker refers to a type of bird belonging to the genus Sphyrapicus, known for its behavior of drilling holes in trees to feed on the sap and insects that are attracted to it. The most common species in North America are the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker and the Red-naped Sapsucker. These birds create a series of small holes in a pattern, allowing sap to flow, which they then consume. The term can also colloquially refer to someone or something that takes advantage of resources without giving back.
