Nuthatches eat mostly insects.

Nuthatch is a bird name that starts with "nut." Nuthatches are small, short-tailed birds that are known for their ability to walk head-first down tree trunks.
Birds love to eat ants, and other insects and Spiders. Also, ants and termites are natural enemies, so they will eat each other. Garden snakes will eat ants and bugs too.
Anteaters are natural enemies of ants, as they are specialized in hunting and consuming large quantities of ants as their main source of food. Additionally, some species of birds, such as woodpeckers and nuthatches, also feed on ants.
Rose and red breasted nuthatches migrate southward during the winter months.
Nuthatches are generally non-migratory birds, but their behavior can vary by species and region. Some northern populations may move to lower elevations or more sheltered areas during harsh winter conditions, while southern populations tend to remain year-round. Overall, most nuthatches prefer to stay in their established territories throughout the year.

Things in nature that start with n are nuts, nuthatches, nighthawk, nightengale, nit, nymphs, and nepeta.
Only certain birds, like robins, eat worms. Many birds, like sparrows and quail prefer to eat seeds. Nuthatches and woodpeckers love to eat little insects that are found in trees or other wood. Ocean birds and some eagles enjoy eating fish that they catch. Still other birds, like magpies and bald eagles eat carrion . . . that is, dead animals. Some birds like nothing more than to eat another bird's eggs out of its nest.
Yes, small birds can eat walnuts, but they may not be their primary food source. Birds like chickadees and nuthatches may enjoy walnuts if they're chopped into smaller pieces, making them easier to handle. It's important to ensure the walnuts are unsalted and free from any additives to keep them safe for the birds. Offering a variety of foods can help attract different species to your yard.
Where I live in north Idaho, there are 2 birds that eat (and look for food) upside-down. They are the rose-breasted nuthatch and the pygmy nuthatch. The Nuttall's Woodpecker will hang upside down under limbs looking for insects under the bark.
you need to be more specific, but since you mention the trunk, perhaps you are talking about nuthatches?
Yes, nuthatches have several predators, including birds of prey like hawks and owls, as well as snakes and some mammals. Their small size makes them vulnerable, particularly during nesting season when they are more exposed. However, nuthatches are agile and can quickly escape from threats by darting into tree crevices or flying to nearby branches. Their ability to navigate vertical surfaces also helps them evade many potential predators.
