Woodpeckers are
one of the prettiest birds to have in your yard and when you
hang wooden bird houses the woodpeckers are sure to stay.
Woodpeckers
drum to stake out territory or when they are trying to attract a
mate. They love to drum on a variety of objects, like aluminum
roofs and hollow trees. By hanging wooden bird houses the
woodpecker will have a place to make his home and attract a
mate.
By hanging wooden bird houses you will provide woodpeckers
with a nesting cavity and a safe place to raise their young.
Woodpeckers are diurnal, which means they roost at night inside
holes. Woodpeckers will fill the wooden bird houses quickly and
because woodpeckers stay in the same area year round
they will occupy the wooden bird houses and make them
home.
The Woodpeckers diet consists mainly of insects, such as ants
and beetles. They also eat nuts, seeds, berries and some fruit
and sap.
Hanging woodpecker feeders near your wooden bird houses
will keep woodpeckers in your yard all through the year.
