How does a woodpecker find its food?
Woodpeckers have large, chisel-like bills and a strong skull. When they tap the trunk of a tree, they can tell if an insect grub is living inside by the sound the tapping makes. When they find a likely spot, they smash open the wood with heavy blows of their bill. They can then take the insect to eat.
