Woodpecker Side Tear Checks

Avian Adaptations

Most people know that a woodpecker hammers its bill to forage for insects, but did you know that the tell-tale drumming is also part of its breeding and signaling behaviors?

If humans kept up such a head-banging routine, we'd be brain damaged in no time!

But not woodpeckers. That's because they have special adaptations to protect themselves from the effects of their ritualistic pecking. For example, a woodpecker's brain is quite small and is oriented to give maximum space between it and the bird's skull.

To prevent injury from flying debris, a thick membrane covers a woodpecker's eyes just before its head makes impact with the tree. Even the bird's nostrils are equipped with special feathers to protect it from inhaling tiny wood bits!
