Good day to you!!
Are you ready to learn something cool?
Have you heard about the Northern flicker also known as the Common flicker? Did you know that the Northern flicker is from the woodpecker family of birds? The Northern flicker is a medium sized bird. It is a beautiful bird. With your parent/caretaker’s permission google pictures of the Northern flicker and see how beautiful they are!
What is your favorite type of bird?
Facts about the Northern flicker:
1. There are two types of Northern flickers. The Red shafted
flicker and the Yellow shafted flicker. The Yellow shafted flicker is mostly
native to the east part of North America. The Red shafted flicker is native to
most parts of North America. Most Northern flickers migrate to the south parts
of North America for the winter.
2. Northern flickers are omnivores. They eat mostly ants and
other insects. They also eat fruits, berries, nuts, and seeds! They hunt for
their food mostly on the ground.
3. The Northern flicker can grow up to fourteen (14) inches
tall and weigh up to five and a half ounces (5 ½ oz.).
4. The Northern flickers build nests in holes inside of
trees.
5. The Northern flickers are diurnal. Diurnal means they are
awake during the daylight hours. They hunt for food during the day and
sleep/rest during the night.
6. A group of flickers are sometimes referred to as menorah,
guttering, and/or Peterson of flickers.
7. Both the male and female Northern flickers work together
to care for their baby birds. They take turns keeping the eggs warm. They both
feed the baby birds.
8. They drill holes into trees, barns, and other wood with
their long beak. That is why they are from the woodpecker family because they
love to peck holes into wood searching for food or a place to nest.
