PICA-PAUS não têm dor de cabeça?! #OrnitólogoResponde

Have you ever seen a woodpecker tapping on a metal street lamppost and thought, "What a clueless bird?" In this special episode of #OrnithologistAnswers, the topic is entirely dedicated to WOODPECKERS, and there are some really good questions that will surprise you! Why do they drum on metal surfaces? Is their tongue really similar to that of an anteater? Can they hear their prey inside the wood? Do woodpeckers eat fruit? And finally… how do they manage to bang their heads so many times without getting dizzy? We talked about curious species like the Spectacular Woodpecker (Celeus spectabilis), the Yellow-headed Woodpecker (Celeus flavescens), the Robust Woodpecker (Campephilus robustus), the rare Cinnamon-faced Woodpecker (Celeus galeatus), and even the largest woodpecker in the world, the impressive Great Slate Woodpecker of Southeast Asia. We also clarified common confusions about similar species, name changes such as in the case of the Taboca Woodpecker, and answered classic questions: which is the largest in Brazil? Which is the most endangered? Do they really hear the larvae inside the trunk? Do only woodpeckers climb trees vertically? And of course… we talked about the cartoon woodpecker. Does it exist? Which species was it inspired by? And what does it have to do with the Ivory-billed Woodpecker? If you enjoy birds, surprising facts, and science explained in a clear and straightforward way, this video is for you.
