Pygmy Woodpecker
The Pygmy Woodpecker is a small bird native to parts of Asia, particularly found in countries like Japan, China, and Taiwan. It typically measures about 12 to 13 centimeters in length and has a distinctive plumage with a mix of brown, white, and black. This woodpecker is known for its short, stout bill and a characteristic pecking behavior on tree trunks and branches.
Pygmy Woodpeckers primarily feed on insects, larvae, and tree sap. They are often seen in pairs or small groups, foraging in forests, parks, and gardens. Their call is a series of sharp, high-pitched notes, making them recognizable in their natural habitat.
