Woodpeckers are a family of birds known for their distinctive behavior of pecking on trees. They have strong, chisel-like beaks that allow them to drill into wood to find insects, create nesting sites, and communicate with other woodpeckers. Their feet have two toes pointing forward and two backward, which helps them grip tree trunks securely. These birds are found in various habitats, including forests and woodlands, across the world. There are over 200 species of woodpeckers, such as the Downy Woodpecker and the Pileated Woodpecker. Their unique drumming sounds are often heard in nature, signaling their presence to other wildlife.
