Woodpeckers are birds of the order of Piciformes ("a group of birds including
the woodpeckers, toucans, barbets, colies, kingfishes, hornbills, and some other
related groups"). They are found worldwide and include about 180 species.
Woodpeckers got their English name from tapping and pecking noisily on tree
trunks with their beaks. This is both a means of communication to signal
possession of territory to their rivals, and a method of locating and accessing
insect larvae found under the bark or in long winding tunnels in the tree.
Some woodpeckers and wrynecks in the order Piciformes
have zygodactyl feet, with two toes pointing forward, and two backward. These
feet, though adapted for clinging to a vertical surface, can be used for
grasping or perching. Several species have only three toes. The woodpecker's
long tongue, in many cases as long as the woodpecker itself, can be darted
forward to capture insects. The tongue is not attached to the woodpecker's head
in the same way as it is in most birds, but instead it curls back up around its
skull, which allows it to be so long.
The woodpecker first locates a tunnel by tapping on the
trunk. Once a tunnel is found, the woodpecker chisels out wood till it makes an
opening into the tunnel. Then it worms its tongue into the tunnel to try to
locate the grub. The tongue of the woodpecker is long and ends in a barb. With
its tongue the woodpecker skewers the grub and draws it out of the trunk.
Woodpeckers also use their beaks to create larger holes
for their nests which are 15-45 cm (6-18 inches) below the opening. These nests
are lined only with wood chips and hold 2-8 white eggs laid by the females.
Because the nests are out of sight, they are not visible to predators and eggs
do not need to be camouflaged. Cavities created by woodpeckers are also reused
as nests by other birds, such as grackles, starlings, some ducks and owls, and
mammals, such as tree squirrels.
