Woodpecker, A unique bird among birds.

 

   Nature has gifted it with a unique ability. Compared to other birds, the woodpecker's beak is designed in such a way that it connects directly to the bone of the skull, which allows the woodpecker to strike a hard surface like wood. The brain is not damaged.

    One of the most unusual features of the woodpeckers is its tongue. It is about three times as long as its beak and about 1/3 of its body. This long protuberant tongue wraps itself around the skull with a tongue that rests above the eye and nostrils beyond the skull. It is strange how the woodpecker's tongue rests in its skull. But this adaptation helps them protect their head from injuries during their injuries.

Woodpecker's Tongue

    The tongue wraps around the skull and acts as an isolator and shock absorber during repeated pecking. It also protects their brain from severe head injuries. So it acts as a helmet o protect their brain. When a woodpecker strikes a piece of wood with its beak, it creates a force equal to a car hitting a wall at 15 miles per hour. while woodpecker makes 40 strokes in 1 minute and 10,000 strokes in a day, that too is no response to nature from a single force. 

But why all this?

Woodpecker start digging holes for food

    First, He find a dead tree and starts digging holes for food (nuts). Make each hole very carefully, because if the hole is big, other birds can easily steal it. If the hole is tight, the nut may break and become damaged. By the end of summer, the woodpecker's "treasure gathering" is over, by which time the nuts have ripened and taken their place in the tree. A large tree trunk can harbor up to 50,000 nits, helping the bird to winter comfortably.

Indeed, Allah is the best in Wisdom.
