Drum our Metalbird Woodpecker just like its beak into wood. A perfect gift for a go-getters garden
The drumming of the Woodpecker’s beak on wood, about 10-16 strikes per second, lets their mate know where they are and marks out their territory. Luckily they have shock-absorbing tissue between their bill and skull. Or…chiropractor. All Woodpeckers drum, but the single male drums four times as much as the happily paired males. To help it climb trees, the Great Spotted Woodpecker has two toes facing forward and two back. Who wouldn’t want to pick a ‘pecker for their backyard?

Easy to install:
The perfect spot for your bird is in a post, fence, tree or wall against the clear sky or a light single colour. You are the artist! Simply grab a hammer and tap it in. If the wood is hard, drill a small hole first.
