Nature is cruel...
They were originally birds from Africa, and it is said that due to the pet bird trade, some escaped birds once established stable populations in the wild. Their male adults grow long tails during the breeding season. They reproduce through an Obligate brood parasitism strategy, which means they lay their eggs in the nests of other birds and rely on other birds to incubate the eggs.

Last week, we had a wonderful time at DWeb Camp in Camp Navarro, CA.

The three adult Acorn Woodpeckers hanging out together are actually part of one big family.
These woodpeckers like to live in groups with about a dozen or more members. They all work together to take care of their babies and find, store, and protect their food. Even after the young birds grow up, they live with the family for many years, helping the breeding woodpeckers with hatching eggs and looking after the new babies.
