The woodpecker hammers with a sharp beak. What kind of birds are there? Why does a woodpecker hammer a tree
Far in the spring forest, the sound of “trrrr” is heard, similar to a knock on an empty barrel. This is a woodpecker, a forest worker, from morning to evening does not stop his work. Today we will tell you what a woodpecker bird is very important for the forest. The description and photos will help you learn all the most interesting things about the life of a feathered orderly in 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 because of the variegated color of the feathers. Brown-white, white, gray, black with a blue or greenish tint are the primary colors. There are all shades of brown on the body. The woodpecker's elegance is given by bright red or pink spots on the back of the male's head and, like a cap, crowning the crown.
Listen to the voice of the woodpecker
The same red spots are in the undertail. Generally different types woodpeckers, the arrangement of stripes and spots of black and white forms a kind of rhythmic pattern.
Why is the woodpecker called the forest doctor?
Woodpeckers live where there are trees: both in the northern taiga and in city parks. Types of trees do not matter, it can live in coniferous, deciduous and mixed forests.
The bird is sedentary, lives in the same place for a long time. They migrate to another place only in case of crop failure, and do not return to their native places. In this regard, there may be very few woodpeckers, and it will take a long time until the number is restored.
What does woodpecker eat
The woodpecker is an omnivore. AT warm time years, their main food is a variety of insects. In large quantities, woodpeckers eat harmful insects that spoil wood, their larvae, any caterpillars, ants, occasionally eat snails, crustaceans.
There are cases when woodpeckers ate small chicks, bird eggs, not only from birds of other species, but even from other woodpeckers. On occasion, they can eat carrion and find food in garbage dumps, picking up food waste.
With its cone-shaped sharp beak, the woodpecker hourly hollows out the bark of a tree. To a depth of up to 10 cm, he hollows out 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. That is why 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 of extracting a seed from a cone. Having picked a cone, the woodpecker carries it in its beak to a tree, where there is a gap or a narrow fork between the branches. It clamps the bump, hits it strongly with its beak - plucked scales fly in all directions. He will eat all the seeds, throw a cone, flies after 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 there is a mountain of empty cones in hundreds and even thousands of pieces.
In addition to the seeds of coniferous trees, these birds also 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 jealously guard their feeding territory. A stranger will appear, the “owner” sits opposite, his beak opens, feathers on his head spread out - it scares. If the uninvited guest is not afraid, he starts screaming, drumming on the tree and chasing the stranger along the trunk. Can fly from above and peck painfully.
Woodpecker breeding
In 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 recess. Sawdust is picked up, and they line the hollow from the inside. By the beginning of May, the female lays up to 8 eggs. Newly hatched chicks do not have plumage, they do not see or hear.
Chicks are just as loud as their parents. If they are full, they hum quite a bit. Hungry - gnashing. If you approach a tree and knock on the trunk with a stick, the chicks will squeal loudly.

Alevtina Zaitseva
In the silence and snows of the winter forest,
Only skis creak quietly.
A knock was suddenly heard all around
From the alder, which was closer to the ski track.
Woodpecker, pressing a bump to the trunk,
He ate recklessly "pine porridge."
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 bright and colorful.
The hat looms red with fire,
The beak is sharpened for work.
Cones winter threshing "blacksmith",
There are many "anvils" in the forest,
But the winter will finally recede
Tender feelings will open the way.
March will come and hear - drrr!
Fractionally with a beak will hit the bitch,
Praising spring to the whole world,
Inviting a friend to your heart.

The woodpecker makes more than 12 thousand headbutts a day without harming itself. 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 CT scan, examining the protection of a woodpecker from impacts. The creators hope that the decoding of the model will help in the creation of anti-shock materials and structures for humans.

Spring Drummers. Woodpeckers
Raisa Trostyanova
February early
Beats are heard:
Drumming everywhere!
With the appearance of spring
flooding song
In the coastal forests
Louder, wonderful
Voices are ringing
cheering birds,
And the woodpeckers are knocking
Higher and further
Fly behind them
And songs and dances!
Here is the marble forest
Where are the handsome beeches,
touching the sky,
Seeing off spring
To the mysterious temple
In it firs take off
To the high snows!
Like with a raised flag
Spring brought
funny woodpeckers
To the tops of the earth!
Zhelna, or black woodpecker
Raisa Trostyanova
There is a sign, they say
(And noticed - not in vain!)
Moaning plaintively greedy,
To know, she foresees:
Soon, soon it will rain!
And the "barometer" does not lie to us.
It can be seen breaking her bones
The weather is getting stronger...
Or are secrets given to her
Sky, sun and moon,
Forces of wind and water
And the breath of the earth?!
green woodpecker
Raisa Trostyanova
Wow, green woodpecker
Found "enemies" in ants!
He dishonors his brothers,
Dyatlov - forests of doctors!
It's easier in an ant's tussock
Get egg chrysalis

Pound until unconsciousness! ..
Black woodpecker, or yellow
Raisa Trostyanova
He examines the trees
And flickers among the branches
In strict black plumage,
In his red cap.
Woodpecker - large, with a powerful beak,
It's called zhelna.
He can extract the larva,
Wherever she hides!
And sometimes it groans
Suddenly piteously screams,
Maybe the woodpecker is in a lot of pain?
Here and no! He knocks again!
People say about him:
"The woodpecker calls us rain!"
He predicts bad weather
In three or four days!

Silence, peace all around.
Suddenly I hear: knock-knock-knock!
Who is knocking? And why?
I don't understand anything
I see nearby, on the aspen,
A bird in a dark blue hat.
In a fresh, clean shirt-front,
Red silk pants.
The black coat is his outfit.
"Spotted woodpecker" - they say
He knocks from morning to night.
He wants to heal the trees.
Overcame bark beetles,
They will cause trouble to the trees.
The doctor is a woodpecker, here - like - here.
Strong beak tuk-tuk-tuk.
The beak is large and very sharp.
He sharpens the bark like an awl.
Will get worms from the bark,
The branches will stop drying.
And the trees come alive
Bloom again in spring
Know the animals all around -
The woodpecker is the forest's best friend!

Above me: knock-knock-knock-knock-knock-knock!
At the top of the pine
Beaters are knocking -
Where, where does the knock come from?
Under the pine tree quietly I got up
And he raised his eyes straight to the sky:
Beaked motley bird
Knocking on someone
And I recognized her instantly!
Clings to the bark with claws,
A hard tail rests against a pine trunk;
Head banging,
Pecks with a sharp beak,
Gets to the bugs-worms.

I saw how it works ... (woodpecker).
Woodpecker
Svetlana Tishkina
Nimble woodpecker somewhere in the crown
Drumming fractional rhythm.
Louder, quieter, a little drown,
He'll speak up again.
Where is this fidget?
I don't know where to look
The echo multiplies the sound of hello,
And it's like he doesn't exist.
I look up, and my legs themselves
They went to the dance under the knock.
This woodpecker is a fashionable guy,
The musical trick came out!
Not hip-hop, not break-dancing...
This is a hundred times better!
tree woodpecker echo dance
From nature - the highest class!
Vaughn and red bandana
Flickered between the branches.
The woodpecker hammers relentlessly,
How much rhythm in my head!

You are in the forest and hear
Loud, thumping.
It's a woodpecker tree
Knock-knock-knock.
There are many types of these birds:
Spotted, green.
Small and big
Doctor scientists.
The hole is hollowed out with a beak
And they get the larvae.
Very harmful insect
Do not allow to breed.
Nests are built in trees
The male sits in the nest at night.
And tirelessly in the morning
In the forge, the cones are peeling.
Great spotted woodpecker
Tamara Evlash
The plumage is really unusual,
There are 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.
He inhabits dense forests, just
Appears in gardens, builds nests strangely.
Simultaneously in two hollows, settles in the old ones.
Sheer impatience builds relentlessly.
Europe, Siberia should be considered his homeland.
Woodpecker
Tamara Evlash
Loud drum beat
It's going tuk-tuk-tuk!
A sea of chips on the ground.
Woodpecker nests in a hollow
During the winter he lived comfortably,
Peeled cones in winter.
To hollow out a birch tree
To drink spring juice.
Woodpecker
Tamara Evlash
In laying up to eight eggs in these wonderful birds.
The female is in care all day, the male sits willingly at night
In the hollow they found, a sea of cones on the ground.
In winter, the woodpecker peeled them and lived quite satisfyingly.
And in the spring, the birch tree should be hollowed out by tasting the juice.
After the berries go, apples peck in the orchards.
Crumble the bark is ready and get to the moves,
Where the larvae hide and without any hitch there
Sticky long tongue gets them easily.
There is a knock-knock-knock booming drum beat.
The woodpecker makes a hollow, the beak is like a chisel.
black woodpecker
Tamara Evlash
Bright red head, strong, fast and shy.
Extremely frisky, agile and beautiful in flight.
Avoids any neighborhood with people, because
It settles in large forests where it is more free for him.
There 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 a nest,
Makes a hollow, always choosing a tree higher.
The whole of Europe is considered the motherland.

The woodpecker is a "family" bird. Often forms pairs from year to year with the same female, with whom she then nurses the chicks. Previously, the male woodpecker prepares a hollow.

Strange green woodpecker...
Elvina Aksenova
Strange green woodpecker*
Doesn't like to sit in trees.
Weird green woodpecker
Likes to walk on the lawn
And talk to the hoopoe
About summer holidays in Geneva
And call the sparrows
Contemptuously: "non-flyers".
Weird green woodpecker
parrot cousin
And golden bee-eater
Also a cousin.
Weird green woodpecker
Likes to sit in ambush.
And leafing through the leaves of the trees,
The wind itself is happy to play with it.
Weird green woodpecker
Once I visited Russia.
With their motley brethren.
I drank kvass and birch sap
Drunk for a hundred years ahead.
I bought there pima, earflaps
And a sheepskin coat
And flew to Girona
Where he lives now.
*Green woodpecker (lat. Picus viridis) is a bird of the woodpecker family, common in the western part of Eurasia. Approximately the size of a jackdaw; among other European woodpeckers, it stands out for its olive-green color of the upper body. Sedentary bird, inhabits a variety of wooded landscapes with deciduous trees and open spaces nearby. Like a house sparrow, it moves on a hard surface by jumping. Unlike other species of woodpeckers, they rarely peck trees and almost never trill.

Woodpecker hollowed out a hollow
It's cozy and warm.
From it to all ends
In the summer, the chicks will fly:
They will knock on the spruce
The drums are new.

Everything is not true, which is desirable -
This is a woodpecker's wife.
- But relatives, at least -
Animals talk among themselves.
And the yellow pine was hollowed out,
She confirmed everything about her family.
Of course, there are fewer birds on earth than insects, but still there are a lot of them - about 9 thousand species. There are very large birds, almost two meters in size, there are also very tiny ones and weigh several grams.
Today we'll talk about woodpeckers
Look at the photo of the woodpecker. How to recognize a woodpecker if you meet him in the park? You can easily recognize the woodpecker by the red beret on the head and the black vest.
What kind of wings, tail, paws, head does a woodpecker have? (There is a red cap on the head, there are red pants. The woodpecker has a black vest on the back, and the woodpecker has a white chest). Male woodpeckers wear a red cap on their heads, while female woodpeckers go without a cap. They have a black head.
Color the woodpecker
The woodpecker is called the "forest doctor". He is not only a very beautiful bird, but also very useful. Do you know why? Whom does he treat in the forest?
The woodpecker has a sharp long beak, he hammers hollows and crevices with them. Here is a beak (show in the photo)!
And the woodpecker has a special language. It is very long (its tongue is bigger than its head!!!), flexible, thin, with a sharp tip and very sticky. With his tongue, he takes out insects from under the bark of trees and this saves the trees from death. (Show the child a stick, a strip of paper or a pencil 13-15 cm long and say that this is how long the tongue of woodpeckers is and how far they can stick it out to get insects from under the bark). And you and I can't stick our tongues out that far!
When a woodpecker pecks trees with its beak, it rests on its tail. That is why his tail is very strong.
Knock-knock, knock-knock - a knock flies through the forest!
I am a famous doctor, all secrets are open to me!
Knock-knock, knock-knock. I am the forest's best friend.
Knock-knock, knock-knock - a knock flies through the forest!
Trees, don't worry!
Trees, get green! (V. Kikta.)
Chistovory about a woodpecker.
The woodpecker lived in an empty hollow, the Oak hollowed like a chisel. (S. Marshak) The woodpecker in the oak is knocking and knocking, the oak is creaking: What is that knock? (S. Cherny) The woodpecker hammers the tree, The woodpecker hammers the oak with its beak.
Woodpecker in the oak, everything is here and there,
Oak creaks: What is that knock? (S. Black)

Woodpecker, Woodpecker - Our friend
- KEY FACTS
- Habitat - coniferous and mixed forests of Europe and Asia
- Size: 22-24 cm
- Habitat: forests, gardens, hedgerows
- Voice: loud "chomp" or "drumroll"
- Nest: a hollow hollow in a tree
- Clutch: 4-7 white eggs
- Incubation: 10-13 days
- Departure of chicks: 20-21 days
- Number of broods: one brood in May-June
Woodpecker chicks appear in less than two weeks after the start of incubation, and at first the hollow serves as a reliable fortress for them. Caring parents take turns carrying food to the nest.
Announcing the forest with a loud machine-gun burst, a large motley woodpecker is diligently hammering a tree trunk. With each blow, small chips and pieces of bark scatter in all directions. In a matter of minutes, breaking open the galleries made by the larva of the carpenter beetle, the bird pierces the fat prey with a harpoon-like tongue.Not a single bird in the world knows how, like a woodpecker, to get food and build safe nests, having adopted carpentry. Moreover, drumming with its beak on a dry branch in the spring, the woodpecker claims the rights to the nesting site, and its “trills” are carried far through the forest.
The woodpecker's main carpentry tool is a long, chisel-shaped beak. The support is “impact-resistant” cranial bones, which reliably protect the brain from injury. The neck muscles of the woodpecker are not only very strong, but also able to work with incredible high speed- about 13 beats per second.
In order to use its beak effectively, the woodpecker must firmly attach itself to the trunk or branch. A tenacious grip is provided to him by specially arranged fingers - two of them are turned forward, and two are turned back, and all four are equipped with sharp claws. Besides, short tail bird consists of 12 tail feathers with very thick and springy rods, which provide excellent support when climbing trees.
harpoon tongue
Climbing up the trunk in small jumps, the woodpecker meticulously examines the bark in search of food - the larvae of carpenter beetles.
Having hatched from an egg laid under the bark, the larva gains weight by eating wood and making winding passages in it, which expand as it grows. Metamorphosis of the larva also occurs under the bark, after which an adult beetle is selected to the surface.
Holes made by beetles crawling out into the wild, areas of rotting wood, or the barely perceptible rustle of a larva gnawing wood unmistakably indicate to the forest orderly the presence of prey. Having chosen a “productive” place, the woodpecker firmly grabs the trunk with its claws and gets to work.
But now the gallery has been opened, and the great spotted woodpecker uses its amazing 40 mm long tongue.
An adult great spotted woodpecker flies out of a hollow. For the device of the dwelling, as a rule, a tree with soft or decaying wood is chosen.
It would seem that it is unusual? However, for a bird only 22 cm long, this is a giant tongue. With the same ratio, our tongue would be as long as 30 cm! True, the narrow tongue of a woodpecker differs in many ways from a human one. Its sharp tip is not only serrated, but also wetted with sticky saliva. This kind of harpoon easily pierces the soft body of the larva, and the adult beetle is tightly glued with saliva.
A hungry hunter easily extracts a helpless insect from a shelter and immediately eats it.
cones lover
The great spotted woodpecker is distributed throughout Europe and Asia, from the British Isles in the west to China and Japan in the east. His original patrimony is the endless coniferous forests, where all year round a rich harvest of spruce and pine cones is ripening.In the spring, when the movement of sap begins in the trees, the woodpecker often makes horizontal rows of holes in the bark and regularly visits them to drink the juice that flows out and at the same time eat the insects stuck in it.
At the beginning of the mating season, adult birds notify their neighbors with a ringing drum roll about their claims to the chosen territory. If the "percussion instrument", that is, the branch, is thick enough, the presence of a woodpecker is heard for a good 800 meters. In this way, birds establish the boundaries of their territories and relationships with relatives.
Unusually strong neck muscles allow the woodpecker to peck a tree with a frequency of 13 beats per second, and pairs of opposing fingers hold tightly to the trunk, in a shrunken tree trunk - and, to be sure, hit it with a beak with force, after which it methodically opens hard scales and eats out seeds. Depending on the type of cones, the great spotted woodpecker can eat about 7,000 seeds per day.
As soon as the site is found, the bird starts building the nest, relying primarily on the strength of its beak. The woodpecker first finds a trunk with soft or rotting wood, which will be easier to deal with, after which it begins to hammer the inlet. The next stage is the gouging of the nesting chamber, about 12 cm wide and up to 30 cm deep. At its very bottom. on a soft litter of small shavings, the female lays 4 to 7 eggs.
It takes 2-4 weeks of hard work to build a hollow. The value of such a safe home is so great that other birds, especially starlings, try to capture it every now and then. True, the woodpecker vigilantly guards the home and drives away uninvited guests, but if the starling manages to bring at least a couple of twigs, pieces of paper or other nesting material into the hollow. the old master leaves his lawful home and starts all the work anew.
If everything goes well, after 12 days chicks appear from the eggs, and for the parents there comes a hot time of feverish search for food for their voracious offspring. There is no time for picking in the bark - it is much easier and faster to collect fat caterpillars right on the leaves. In the heat of hunting, woodpeckers do not disdain either other people's chicks, or even newborn squirrels. However, squirrels also do not remain in debt and, on occasion, feed woodpecker chicks to their cubs.
After the departure of the chicks, adult birds try to keep the old nest behind them, every night, settling in it to rest. If the couple manages to keep the hollow until next spring, this will save her a lot of unnecessary work and increase the chances of successfully breeding offspring.
