Woodpeckers

Absolutely beneficial, their only reason to peck on trees is to get at the insect parasites that are infecting the tree, if there are no insects there the woodpeckers will not even visit a tree.

You don't, they won't eat it.

Woodpeckers are a federally protected bird under the North American Migratory Bird Act.

It is illegal to kill one.

Yes, woodpeckers are toothless. Instead of teeth, they have a specialized beak that allows them to drill into trees to find insects and create nesting cavities. Their beaks are strong and chisel-like, enabling them to extract food effectively. Additionally, woodpeckers have a uniquely adapted tongue that helps them reach into crevices for insects.

15 to 20 times

Diurnal woodpeckers often create nests in trees, which honey badgers will climb to raid the nest.

A woodpecker could peck no peckers because no woodpeckers would peck peckers.

If the bird built it then it is generally called a nest. If it was made for the bird by a human it is generally called a birdhouse.

Woodpeckers eat bugs that live under tree bark, like termites. So they peck holes in the wood and use their extremely long tongues to pick up their prey. And they drill cavities in trees suitable for their size as a nest.

i believe it's to keep them balanced against the tree when they hold on to it

I had a woodpecker on my suet feeder the first day I put it up, but it may take a few days, they can't really smell it so they need to come to the tree you have it in and find it.

Boomer the woodpecker.

There are lots of human foods you can feed wild birds, such as bread crumbs, sunflower seeds, chopped nuts and fruits (such as apples and pears), and raisins. I even have all types of birds that fly down to my dog's food bowl on the patio and eat the dry dog food, but the kinds with smaller pieces are much easier for them to eat.

Anything that is raw and unprocessed is OK.

Where = In a nest hollowed out of a tree trunk.

How = The bird's eggs are laid then incubated in the nest and once hatched the chicks are fed in the nest until they fledge.

It depends on the ambient noise level. On a quiet dawn, you can hear them from up to a half mile away, sometimes farther in mountains and valleys. Even when there are lots of other noises, the familiar staccato sound can be distinguished for some distance.

Some suburban woodpeckers mistake aluminum posts for trees, giving a unique "phone ringing" sound as they futilely hammer away.

Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers live in the same habitat as Pileated Woodpecker.

A very large, crow sized woodpecker, second only to the extremely rare ivory bill in North America. Color basically blackish brown, with white underwings. Red on head, makes a loud, ringing, yek,yek,yek,yek, call, similar to laughter.

A woodpeckers tongue is 2/3 the length of its own body.

Well i know someone who is a cradle snatcher and she goes to Piopio College and she is !6yrs old and the person shes in lust with is 14. her nose is like the beak of a woodpecker.

According to all of my research, Woodpecker cider is gluten-free. Along with Magners, Woodchuck, Bulmers (UK brand of Magners), Strongbow and Cider Jack. The only unfriendly cider I have found to date is Hornsby....which does have wheat. I have been a celiac for six years and was a huge fan of beer before my diagnosis. I like some of the gluten-free beers out there (Ramapo Valley, New Grist), however they are extremely hard to find in bars/pubs - not to mention stores! Cider is a nice alternative and since it is available in a ton of bars/pubs/restaurants/stores, you do not have to feel ostracized when you are out and want to have a beer-like drink, especially when you can get it on tap!

Woody, Woody woodpecker!

It is worth two cents. It might be worth more if someone famous licked it.
