Spotted woodpecker

Alevtina Zaitseva

In the silence and snow is a winter forest,
Only skis creak quietly.
A knock suddenly rang out around
From the alder, which was closer to the ski track.

Woodpecker, pressing a bump to the trunk,
I ate “pine porridge” recklessly.
And then he carried another to the table,
Throwing the old one into the snow bowl.

White and black dress on him
The plumage is catchy and colorful.
The red hat looms with fire,
The beak is sharpened for work.

The "blacksmith" threshes the cones in the winter,
There is a lot of "anchoring" him in the forest,
But winter will finally recede
Will open the way for tender feelings.

March will come and hear - drrr!
Fractionally hit the bitch with its beak,
Praising spring to the whole world
Inviting a friend to heart.

Forest concert

Alexey Vodoley Sergeev

The branches are open arms
The vastness of the forest is immense.
On an old tree stump the drummer is a woodpecker
Forest taps out a hymn.

Let it go out of rhythm more than once,
But you can see right away - from the heart!
No evil critics to be seen here
In an unknown forest wilderness.

There are so many musicians!
Everyone has a "hit" in stock.
And the woodpecker, although not talented,
But it sets a good rhythm.

The roulades are intertwined
A trill is streaming over the grasses -
Blackbirds, robins, cicadas.
Forest concert. Typical day.

There are one hundred thousand dents on a pine tree:
The woodpecker pounds day - day.

Like a sculptor in a workshop.
And flies

Mountain

Half collapsed:
Under the pine tree

Sharp beak

Anatoly Marmazov

Spotted woodpecker, in a red hat,
That you knock on the pine tree
And unexpectedly frequent fraction
Do you sprinkle sounds in silence?

Suddenly it hurts from the knock
Your head is strong
What do you think to be treated with?
Or is it all “tryn-grass”?

But the woodpecker stubbornly knocks,
Mining worm:
“Don't be afraid, - I'm not crazy
And healthy for now! "

Woodpecker

Antonina Kukhtina Brushtunova

As soon as the sun wakes up in the forest,
It touches flowers and trees
Dry the night dew from the leaves,
A distinct knock is heard.

A cheerful roll, like a song, flies
And the echo plays hide and seek with her
Everyone has known for a long time: if a woodpecker knocks,
That means everything is in order in the forest.

Baty Irina

Today, what is behind the din in the forest,
rumble, knock, yes bangers?
Who seems to be at war there,
who is there angry, indignant?
We have such a question in winter
approached the pine trees in the thicket.
We look - a bird, a nose like a lance,
jumps, shouts to us "kick!"
He will dress up in a bright uniform.
He's probably the commander.
What's your name, buddy?
Well, of course, this is ... a woodpecker!

Woodpecker-warrior

Hey Warrior Woodpecker
who is your enemy?
- Flies and bugs,
aphids and worms!

Woodpecker, aty-baty,

Zhelna


Valentina Mentuz

Zholna - in a hat of a red black woodpecker,
Restless, winged,
It flies up and down
The trunks are the fastest.

Where there is a wormhole -
Pest beetle il larva,
The woodpecker will find everything right there,
It will certainly remove it.

The doctor heals all the trees
Scrupulously, inspired,
His nose is like a chisel,
It hollows a hollow in the trunk.

And not at all for fun
Very necessary for everyone,
Not a hollow, but a forest house,
It is reliable, not simple.

Can a bird settle
Maybe a squirrel or a marten,
It all depends on the size -
Not everyone will be lucky, probably.

Woodpecker - doctor and caretaker
Drummer and builder
The woodpecker forest is a home,
He takes care of him.


Green woodpecker


Valentina Mentuz

I observe - how wonderful he is:
long nose, backs emerald color,
jumps dexterously, but he is a virtuoso,
on the trunks of aged birches.

Scared? Suddenly flapped his wing,
a house dived into the neighboring house.
What's the problem, winged buddy -
Our Red Book Green Woodpecker?

The stuffing started up in these logs -
wood beetle, or maybe a larva,
the woodpecker pounds the wall with all his might,
he is not an ordinary doctor - exclusive!

Arouse the ability to envy -
no X-ray or analysis is needed,
a long tongue will help you in a moment
in the crack - once, and the larva - kirdyk.

His summer table is much richer,
on the ground he gallops like a sparrow,
eats berries, bees, ants there,
wood for the woodpecker - both food and a house.

Woodpecker in one dense forest
served as a doctor.

As soon as the sun rises in the morning
he is right there,
Heals all those waiting
help. Knock, knock.

He was an ambulance himself,

In a deep forest that is not in the capital
he treated the sick.

Aren't you tired of all this?
Look around, there are so many aphids on the linden leaves.
Eat all the fat caterpillars - that’s it.

Legs resting on the trunk of a sick tree.
I am heavy, and if I tear linden leaves,
I will fall to the ground and live starving.

Believe it! My head does not hurt at all.
Everyone in the family was knocking: mother, father and our children.
After all, nature has thought of everything, she is right!
All our lives we have been saving a sick forest from death.

Gone from the oak from sin ...

Frosty snowy day
and the wind is fresh dry.
And the old linden tree stump,
and a wooden knock:
Knock knock ... Knock knock ... Knock knock.

And the frost invigorates
And quickly looking for an eye -
Who-who is hammering the stump here?
Who is the culprit of the leprosy?

And here he is sitting! -
Dressed motley and in a fez.
He is strict and businesslike -
Got a bare branch!

The doctor is a woodpecker !!!

Margarita Volodina 2

Who heals trees in the forest,
Day-day knocking beak?
Hammers the barrel, but does not cripple
Bird, in the status of a doctor!
The knocking sounds throughout the whole district;
And his, jokingly, "surgeon",
"Doctor of Forest Science" -
Affectionately calling around.

Strong nose-chisel
Examines the trunk all around
And malevolent insects
Settled at home
Under the bark at the depth -
He will destroy, completely !!!
This wonderful bird is a woodpecker!
It is he who knocks in the forest.

Here he has enough work:
A load of work on the nose!
He is wearing a bright scarlet beret
An unprecedented beauty man!
Our woodpecker is a dandy:
All clothes with scarlet piping!
Strict. Tightened up. Businesslike.
This is what he is famous for!

Wish him luck;
If you hear a knock in the forest,
Heals trees here, which means
Woodpecker - forests are the best friend !!!

The woodpecker makes more than 12 thousand blows to his head per day, without harming himself. It hammers a tree with a frequency of 25 Hertz and a speed of about 7 meters per second, which is 1000 times more than the earth's gravity! Scientists have created a 3D model based on a computed tomogram, investigating the protection of a woodpecker from blows. The creators hope that deciphering the model will help in the creation of anti-impact materials and structures for humans.

Bumblebees drink from flowers.

The woodpecker knocks harder and harder.
Gouging something with a sharp nose,
Work goes on all day.
Apparently asking to open the door?
Well, why beat so hard!
There are bugs under the bark
Midges, fleas, spiders
And they tremble with fear
So afraid of the evil bird!
“Open up! Knock-Knock!"
The woodpecker's knocking is getting stronger.
Beware, midges are crumbs!
Get your feet away!

They are not cramped at the feeder.

Drummers of spring. Woodpeckers


Raisa Trostyanova

February early
Beats are heard:
Drumming everywhere!
With the appearance of spring
A lively song
In the coastal forests
Louder, more wonderful
The voices are ringing
Jubilant birds
And the woodpeckers knock
Higher and further
They fly after them
Both songs and dances!
Here is a marble forest
Where are the handsome beeches
Touching heaven
See off spring
To a mysterious temple
Fir trees take off in it
Towards the high snows!

Like a flag raised
Spring brought
Funny woodpeckers
To the heights of the earth!

Zhelna, or black woodpecker


Raisa Trostyanova

There is a sign, they say
(And they noticed - not in vain!)
Moans plaintively,
To know, she anticipates:
Soon - soon it will rain!
And the "barometer" does not lie to us.
It can be seen that her bones ache
The weather is getting stronger ...

Or secrets are given to her
Sky, sun and moon
The forces of wind and water
And the breath of the earth ?!

Green woodpecker

Raisa Trostyanova

Wow, green woodpecker
Found "enemies" in ants!
He disgraces his brothers,
Woodpeckers - forests of doctors!

Easier in a hummock
Get the pupae-eggs,
Than a beetle made of wood
Hammer until unconscious! ..

Black woodpecker, or yellow

Raisa Trostyanova

He examines the trees

And flashes among the branches

In strict black plumage,

In his red cap.

The woodpecker is large, with a powerful beak,

It is called zhelna.

He can extract the larva,

Wherever she hid!

And it happens that it groans

It suddenly screams pitifully,

Maybe the woodpecker is in great pain?

No, no! He knocks again!

People say about him:

"The woodpecker calls us rain!"

He will predict bad weather

In three or four days!

Silence, peace around.
Suddenly I hear: knock-knock-knock!
Who knocks? And why?
I won't understand anything

I see nearby, on an aspen,
A bird in a dark blue hat.
In a fresh, clean shirt front,
Red, silk pants.

The black tailcoat is his outfit.
"Spotted woodpecker" - they say
He knocks from morning till night.
He wants to treat the trees.

Overpowered by the bark beetles
Wreak havoc on the trees.
The doctor is a woodpecker, here - how - here.
With a strong beak, tuk - tuk - tuk.

The beak is large and very sharp.
He sharpens the bark like an awl.
Worms get out of the bark,
The branches will cease to dry.

And the trees will come to life
They will bloom again in the spring
The animals know all around -
The woodpecker is the forest's best friend!

And he raised his eyes straight to the sky:
Beak motley bird
Knocking on someone -
And I recognized her instantly!

Clings to the bark with claws,
A hard tail rests against the trunk of a pine;
Bangs my head
Hollows with a sharp beak,
He gets to the bugs-worms.

I didn't waste my time:
I saw how it works ... (woodpecker).

Drumming fractional rhythm.
Louder, quieter, drowning a little,
She will speak again excitedly.

Where is this fidget?
I don't know where to look
Echo multiplies the knock of hello
But it seems to be not there.

I look up, and my legs
They went to the dance to a clatter.
This woodpecker is a fashionable guy,
Musical trick came out!

Not hip-hop, not break-dancing ...
This is a hundred times cooler !!!

You are in the forest and hear
Loud, fractional knock.
This is a woodpecker
Pounding knock knock knock.
There are many species of these birds:
Variegated, green.
Small and large
Doctors are scientists.
The hole will be hollowed out with a beak
And the larvae are taken out.
A very harmful insect
They are not allowed to breed.
They build nests in trees
The male sits at night in the nest.
And in the morning tirelessly
In the smithy he peels the lumps.

Great spotted woodpecker

Tamara Yevlash

The plumage is really extraordinary
White spots on the sides of the head.
The shoulders are also white, the upper part is black.
The belly and tail are purple, the variegation is pleasant.

Appears in gardens, builds nests strangely.
Simultaneously in two hollows, he settles in old ones.
Explicit impatience builds relentlessly.

Resounding drum beat
Tku-knock-knock is distributed!

To drink spring juice.

Woodpecker

Tamara Yevlash



These wonderful birds have up to eight eggs in a clutch.
The female is worried all day, the male sits willingly at night
In a hollow they found, a sea of ​​cones on the ground.
In winter, the woodpecker hulled them and lived quite satisfyingly.
And in the spring, the birch tree can be hammered in, having tasted the juice.
After the berries go, the apples in the orchards are pecked.
Ready to crumble the bark and get to the moves,
Where the larvae hide and without any hitch there
With a sticky long tongue, it gets them easily.
There is a knock-knock-knock, a booming drum beat.
The woodpecker makes a hollow, the beak is like a chisel.

Black woodpecker

Tamara Yevlash

Bright red head, strong, fast and fearful.
Extremely playful, agile and beautiful in flight.
He avoids everyone with people, because
He settles in large forests there more freely to him.
There he diligently exterminates tree wasps and beetles,
Getting to the larvae, the whole day is ready to hammer.
Already in April he transgresses to the construction of the nest,
Crafts a hollow, always choosing a tree higher.

The whole of Europe is considered the homeland.

The bark is hammered by the day of the day,
beak, getting food,
loves bones, nuts,
conifer seeds,

Longhorn beetles and bark beetles,
he will destroy instantly,
maybe it will appear in the park,
will settle in the old garden,

He is the most important ecologist
always works properly,
loves and has fun,
Forest Doctor is a miracle bird!
From the life of woodpeckers


Tatiana Shelikhova -Nekrasova

Woodpecker at the spring ball
gives out a fraction behind a fraction.
gets along with the house for housewarming,
not sparing the beak and forehead.

Cleans old ash
from beetle pests.
turns out fine:
knock-yes knock - and the house is ready!

And then in a spacious hollow,
where it is dry and warm,
he is skillful and agile
cover the bottom with fresh moss.

The deadline will pass - and in the bird's house
the woodpecker will be very happy -
instead of white testicles
seven chicks with might and main roar.

Open your mouth wider:
dad and mom - move!
noise and din in a forest apartment -
Good! This is life!

The woodpecker is a "family" bird. Often mates from year to year with the same female, with which he then nurses the chicks. The male woodpecker prepares the hollow beforehand.


Woodpecker

Fomina Olga Alekseevna

Because that hollows, a woodpecker
Well, not a bit crazy.
Very much even he is quite
In a sound, woodpecker mind.

Will not sit on a healthy trunk:
He will send other birds there,
He sits on dry himself,
And the answer is simple.

The woodpecker is not a rake at all,
The woodpecker is the doctor of the whole forest,
And his outfit is colored,
So that anyone can recognize him.

He looks very imposing,
But his diagnosis is accurate,
Any beast in the forest knows
Woodpecker hollows dead wood.

But he does not offend himself,
Mines under the crust
He is maggots and beetles,
Pecked - and was like that.

He only hides something,
How he gets food.
Who would tell us the secret?
But this is not a secret.

Here nature surprised
After all, only the woodpecker was rewarded
In an unusual language:
Birds dream of this.

It is incredible length,
And the loot will be correct:
At the end of it is a pair of tongs,
And the ends of the tongs are sharp.

No matter how you hide under the bark,
But at lunchtime
And the larva and the bug
They will hit the tongue.

Because it hollows, the woodpecker
Well, not a bit crazy,
Very much even he is quite
In a sound, woodpecker mind.

Strange green woodpecker ...

Strange Green Woodpecker *
Doesn't like to sit in trees.
Strange green woodpecker
Loves to walk on the lawn
And talk to the hoopoe
Summer vacations in Geneva
And call the sparrows
Contemptuously: "neulets".

Strange green woodpecker
Parrot's cousin
And the golden bee-eater
Also a cousin.
Strange green woodpecker
Likes to ambush.
And leafing through the leaves of the trees,
The wind itself is glad to play with it.

Strange green woodpecker
Once I was visiting Russia.
At their motley brethren.
Drank kvass, and birch sap
Got drunk a hundred years ahead.
I bought pimas there, earflaps
And a short fur coat on cotton
And flew to Girona,
Where he lives now.

* The green woodpecker (lat.Picus viridis) is a bird of the woodpecker family, common in the western part of Eurasia. About the size of a daw; it stands out among other European woodpeckers by its olive-green upper body color. A resident bird, it settles in a variety of wooded landscapes with deciduous trees and open spaces nearby. Like a house sparrow, it moves by leaps on a solid surface. Unlike other species of woodpeckers, they rarely hollow trees and almost no trills.

Woodpecker hollowed out a hollow
It is cozy and warm in it.
From it to all ends
Chicks will fly out in the summer:
Will knock on the spruce
The drums are new.

Why does a woodpecker hollow a tree?

Why does a woodpecker hollow a tree?

Most of us think, when we hear a woodpecker knock on a tree, that it spoils it by chipping off wood chips. But the opposite is true. The woodpecker helps the tree survive. First of all, woodpeckers are birds that live in trees. They eat in the trees. Beetles and insects are hidden under the bark of trees. The woodpecker gets them by smell, although they are not visible from the outside. The woodpecker punches a hole exactly where the insects are and eats them. In most cases, these insects are harmful to the tree.

How does a woodpecker get to insects inside a tree? One reason is that the woodpecker's beak is very sharp and strong, resembling a chisel. The woodpecker has a unique language. In some species, it is twice as long as the entire head. The tongue is round in cross section, hard at the end and with tiny teeth at the edges. In the beak, the tongue is twisted like a spring. When a woodpecker takes an insect out of a tree, it can stick its tongue deep into the hollow. Woodpecker hollows not only living trees. He uses his chisel-beak of the day to gouge holes in dead trees. There a woodpecker makes a nest. Sometimes these birds make two holes, as if entering and exiting. This gives woodpeckers the opportunity to escape if an uninvited guest looks into the nest.

Features of the woodpecker family

Birds of the woodpecker family have been identified by scientists ornithologists as a special species "woodpeckers". Woodpeckers are different from other birds. Let us list the signs by which woodpeckers are singled out as a separate species.
- On the woodpecker's legs, two toes are turned forward, two - back. Each finger has a tenacious claw.
-The woodpecker has a very long tongue moistened with sticky saliva for catching insects. There is a thorn at the tip of the tongue. The woodpecker puts out its long tongue, kills the insect with a thorn. The insect sticks to the tongue with saliva and safely enters the hunter's mouth.
-Bones of the skull are reinforced with special threads, an interlayer between the brain and the cranium. This device protects the woodpecker's brain when it hollows a tree with its sharp beak.
-The woodpecker's beak is sharp (chisel-like), similar to a chisel, a special human tool for working with wood. The beak is connected to the bones of the skull.
- The tail of the woodpecker is wedge-shaped, consists of 12 hard feathers that do not fall out during molting (annual feather change).
- To communicate with each other, woodpeckers knock on wood, this knock is perceived as a drum roll.

If a woodpecker has noticed you in the forest, it warns its relatives with a drum roll:
"Attention, man"!

539 species of woodpeckers live in the forests of the earth. Most woodpeckers live in South America. By size, small woodpeckers, slightly larger than a sparrow, and large woodpeckers, the size of a crow, are distinguished. The body weight of woodpeckers is from 60 to 300 grams.

Fifteen species of woodpeckers live in the forests of Russia: great spotted woodpecker, lesser spotted woodpecker, snow-white woodpecker, black woodpecker, gray woodpecker, etc.

Woodpeckers can be found in city parks, forest parks of large and small cities of Russia, protective forest belts along fields, roads and railways. Spotted woodpeckers gouge their nests in softwood trees: willow, pine, alder, aspen, and sometimes birch.

Great Spotted Woodpecker

In the forests of Russia, the great spotted woodpecker lives - a large bird with beautiful plumage. The head is white-black, the abdomen is white with a light red undertail. The wings and tail are black with white specks. In spring and summer, the spotted woodpecker hollows the bark and trunks of diseased trees with its hard beak, and extracts insect larvae.

In search of food, the spotted woodpecker moves along the tree trunk from the bottom up, clings to the tree bark with sharp claws. The woodpecker leans on its tail when it begins to gouge a tree in the place where there are insect larvae. How he locates them is unknown.

Autumn is a holiday for woodpeckers. Their diet is complemented by lingonberries, blueberries, mountain ash, elderberry, hazelnuts.

Yes! Woodpeckers deftly break hazelnuts with their beaks, feast on delicious kernels.

In winter, woodpeckers feed on pine and spruce seeds. Split spruce and pine cones, reach the seeds with a long tongue. In the spring in the forest, under the fir trees, you can find heaps of empty cones. A woodpecker worked here.
In the hungry winter time, woodpeckers fly into the city. They eat bacon, black and white bread from the feeders; they do not disdain food waste in the trash heaps.

Woodpecker is a useful bird

People have long believed that woodpeckers spoil trees. But scientists have proven the benefits of these birds.

In the middle of the 20th century, the German ornithologist Heinz Sielmann lived in the forest for a whole year, observing the life of woodpeckers.

The scientist found that woodpeckers hammer only those trees that are infected with harmful insects. Thus, woodpeckers save trees from death.

In the forest it happens like this: from the outside the tree looks healthy, but from the inside it is eaten by worms. Woodpeckers identify diseased trees, remove pests from the depths of the trunk, from where even the most powerful poisons will not get them. If the birds are hammering dry wood, then they are doing useful work.

Insects harm forests. They actively reproduce on dry trees, can move to healthy trees and destroy them. Hence, woodpeckers are natural healers of the forest.

Appreciate and take care of Woodpeckers! Don't ruin their nests!

There are certainly fewer birds on earth than insects, but there are still a lot of them - about 9 thousand species. There are birds that are very large, almost two meters in size, there are also very tiny ones and weigh several grams.

Let's talk about woodpeckers today

Look at the picture of the woodpecker. How to recognize a woodpecker if you meet him in the park? You can easily recognize a woodpecker by a red beret on the head and a black vest.

What are the wings, tail, legs, head of a woodpecker? (On the head there is a red cap, there are red pants. On the back of the woodpecker there is a black vest, and the breast of the woodpecker is white). Male woodpeckers wear a red cap on their heads, while female woodpeckers walk around without a cap. They have a black head.

Color the woodpecker

Woodpeckers are called "forest doctor". He is not only a very beautiful bird, but also very useful. Do you know why? Whom does he heal in the forest?

The woodpecker has a sharp long beak, it hollows hollows and cracks with it. That's the beak (show in the photo)!

The woodpecker also has a special language. It is very long (its tongue is larger than the head !!!), flexible, thin, with a sharp tip and very sticky. With his tongue, he pulls insects out from under the bark of trees and thereby saves the trees from death. (Show your child a stick, a strip of paper or a pencil 13-15 cm long and tell him that this is the length of the tongue of woodpeckers and how far they can stick it out to get insects from under the bark). And you and I can't stick out our tongue so far!

When a woodpecker hollows trees with its beak, it rests on its tail. And therefore his tail is very strong.
Knock-knock, knock-knock - knock flies through the forest!

I am a famous doctor, all the secrets are revealed to me!

Knock knock knock knock I am the forest's best friend.

Knock-knock, knock-knock - knock flies through the forest!

Trees, don't get sick!

Trees, turn green! (V. Kikta.)

Pure talk about a woodpecker.

Far away in the spring forest, the sound of "trrrr" is heard, similar to the sound of an empty barrel. This woodpecker, forest worker, does not stop his work from morning to evening. Today we will tell you what kind of woodpecker bird it is very important for the forest. The description and photos will help you find out all the most interesting from the life of a feathered orderly of the forest.

What does a woodpecker look like

In nature, there are about 20 species of woodpeckers. They live in the forest zone of North America, northern Africa and Eurasia. They are small and medium in size, the structure of all is approximately the same. The most common and well-known species is the great spotted woodpecker. The bird is quite large. The body is up to 27 cm long, and the wingspan is up to 50. The weight is small, about 100 g.


It got its name from the variegated color of the feathers. Brown-white, white, gray, black with a blue or greenish tint are the main colors. There are all shades of brown on the body. Bright red or pink spots on the back of the head of the male and, like a cap, crowning the crown of the head, give the woodpecker an elegant appearance.

Listen to the voice of the woodpecker

The same red spots are found in the undertail. In general, in different species of woodpeckers, the arrangement of stripes and spots of black and white forms a kind of rhythmic pattern.


Why is a woodpecker called a forest doctor

Woodpeckers live where there are trees: both in the northern taiga and in city parks. The types of trees do not matter, it can live in coniferous, deciduous and mixed forests.

The bird is resident, for a long time it lives in the same place. They migrate to another only in case of poor harvest of seeds, and do not return to their native places. In this regard, there may be very few woodpeckers, and it will take a long time for the number to recover.


What does a woodpecker eat

The woodpecker is an omnivorous bird. In the warm season, their main food is a variety of insects. In large quantities, woodpeckers eat harmful insects that spoil wood, their larvae, any caterpillars, ants, and occasionally eat snails and crustaceans.


There are cases when woodpeckers ate small chicks, bird eggs not only in birds of other species, but even in other woodpeckers. On occasion, they can feed on carrion and find food in garbage dumps, picking up food waste.


With its cone-shaped sharp beak, the woodpecker hollows the bark of the tree every hour. To a depth of 10 cm, he gouges a funnel and takes out an insect with a sticky tongue. The tongue is long, up to 4 cm.


It is noteworthy that he does this only on dried or diseased trees, without touching healthy ones. Therefore, he is called the "forest doctor". This woodpecker really brings great benefits to the forest.

In winter, the main food is the seeds of trees, more often conifers.


An interesting way to get the seed from the cone. Having plucked a cone, the woodpecker carries it in its beak to the tree, where there is a gap or a narrow fork between the branches. He grabs the lump, hits it hard with his beak - plucked scales fly in all directions. Eats all the seeds, throws a pine cone, flies for the next one, returns to the same place again. These places are called "forge" or "anvil", one woodpecker can have up to 57 of them. And under such a tree lies a mountain of empty cones in hundreds and even thousands of pieces.


In addition to the seeds of coniferous trees, these birds feed on other seeds and nuts, buds, and young shoots. In the spring, they hollow out the bark and drink sweet birch or maple sap.


Woodpeckers are loud and noisy birds. They zealously guard their feeding territory. A stranger will appear, the "owner" sits down opposite, the beak will open, the feathers on the head will spread out - scares. If the uninvited guest is not frightened, he starts screaming, drumming on a tree and chasing the alien along the trunk. Can fly from above and peck painfully.


Breeding woodpeckers

During the mating season, the male and female begin to hammer the nest. They will find an old aspen and work for 2 weeks, make a deepening. Sawdust is picked up, and the hollow is lined with them from the inside. By the beginning of May, the female lays up to 8 eggs. Newly hatched chicks have no plumage, they cannot see or hear.


Chicks are as loud as their parents. If they are well fed, they are quite buzzing. The hungry gnash. If you go to a tree and knock on the trunk with a stick, the chicks will squeal loudly.
