But how in the real world does this bird, too, let's look at the life of this woodpecker.

Actually it is true, this woodpecker has the ability to make his own nest in a tree. The trees they use for these nests vary, depending on what trees are in the area where they live. Generally, woodpeckers make new nests every year. But they may still use the same nest the following year. And not infrequently also other birds occupy the nest they have made it, unique yes?

The woodpecker has a beak shaped like a sculptor. Their beaks are also supported with thick bones and flexible neck muscles. The flexible muscles can absorb the vibrations that occur when they peck the tree trunks. It can also protect their heads from being too exposed to very loud vibrations. Want to know how fast they peck a tree trunk? Woodpeckers generally peck a tree as much as 20 times per second at a speed of about 24 km / h, great huh?

In general, these woodpeckers live in groups. They will usually do reproduction throughout the year. The existence of the woodpecker at this time is very worrying. This is due to the loss of its original habitat in the forest by illegal logging. Various efforts in the protection and breeding of this woodpecker already started to be done or protected.

They usually live in a humid and open forest, in the mangrove forest, shrubs and also in oil palm plantations. The main food of the wild woodpecker is the type of insect larvae that usually live under the bark of trees, ants, cockroaches, and various other types of insects that can be found.

While food takes on all the small insects they can find. Start with all types of insect larvae to adult insects such as beetles, cockroaches, scorpions, and other types. Its strong beak ability can make it very easy to pursue different types of larvae behind the forest. If you want to keep the trigger, you can provide additional food such as Kroto for optimal growth that is so beautiful and very agile.

So steemians reviews about this very unique bird, and hopefully useful.
