Bird profile – The Treecreeper (Certhia familiaris)
The treecreeper are active little birds climbing up and down tree trunks in search of insects!
What do Treecreepers look like?
Treecreepers have a slender body and are mostly brown in colour which makes them excellent to camouflage against the bark of a tree. Their tail feathers are stiffened which helps them brace against the tree trunks while climbing.
Where do Treecreepers live?
Treecreepers like to live in woodlands and forest. Mostly living across Europe and parts of Asia. Wherever insects are a Treecreeper won’t be far away! So the Treecreeper will love our Live Mealworms.
