Woodpeckers

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

It is illegal to kill one.

it has something similar to a spike in its tail and along with its legs, it forms a tripod

Woodpeckers make noise when they tap at a tree for insects. The noise sounds just like a very fast and continues tap. This can easily be recognized once you have heard it once.

Woodpeckers use their tails to brace themselves on vertical surfaces. If they tried to descend head first, the weight of their upper bodies would overbalance them. Woodpeckers can hang head down, but rarely do so. There is no point in being clumsy when you can fly.

The only Northern birds that consistently move downward head first are Nuthatches.

The Green Woodpecker (Picus viridis, sometimes called Yaffle) is a member of the woodpecker family Picidae. It occurs in most parts of Europe, and in western Asia. The Green Woodpecker is probably the best known, though not always the commonest of the European woodpecker species; its large size, 30-36 cm in length with a 45-51 cm wingspan, conspicuous dress, loud call and habits render it more noticeable. Though a very green bird, colour is not always distinct in the field, much depending upon the light.

It helps them to get bugs from trees

First, it is illegal to harm or disturb the bird or its nest. Secondly, pine forest management across the southern U.S.replants and manages areas where the bird nests, and does control burns to clear forest understory.

It is most common in people who are between 30 and 50 years of age, as those are the ages most prone to herniating vertebral disks.

A woodpecker uses its beak for pecking at bark on trees

You should not. But you probably could; it would not be very nice for the wild bird to live in a small cage, even a large aviary might not be big enough- woodpeckers have a rather large area they normally cover in order to find food.

North America, from Canada to Mexico.
