All about Woodpeckers

Woodpeckers are birds that drill into tree trunks with their strong, pointed beaks. They drum on wood to find insects hiding under the bark.

Woodpeckers have stiff tail feathers that help them balance on the trunk while they work. Their long, sticky tongues can reach deep into holes to catch insects. Their skulls and beaks are built to absorb the shock of hitting wood many times a second.
