About Woodpeckers
- Woodpeckers have long, barbed tongues that can be up to four times longer than their beaks. They then use their tongues to extract prey from holes they hammer into wood!
- Woodpeckers don't have vocal chords, so they communicate by pecking and drumming on trees. In mating season, male woodpeckers may drum up to 600 times per day to attract a female.
- Woodpeckers find their prey by listening for the hollow sounds that echo off the tunnels of wood-boring insects.
- Most woodpecker chicks are born without feathers, unlike many other birds that hatch covered in down.
