We are passionate about feeding birds and creating backyard habitat at our home in Cincinnati, let us share our enthusiasm with you!
Woodpeckers are hard-headed. It comes with the territory.
When excavating, woodpeckers can strike a tree at speeds up to 15 mph. This is enough force to create brain damage in most other birds, and certainly in our human brain. But due to a number of adaptations, woodpeckers thrive on this heavy hitting.
Woodpeckers' skulls are incredibly strong, yet lightweight, due to a reinforcing meshwork of bony support struts. This skull structure moderates the impact of the blows while transmitting the force away from the brain.
With all that pounding, why doesn’t a woodpecker’s bill wear down to a dull nub? It does wear down, however, special cells at the tip of the bill constantly replace the lost material, keeping the bill strong and sharp.
Woodpeckers' tails are as tough as their bills. Woodpeckers’ pointed tail feathers are especially strong and rigid, and their tail bones, lower vertebrae and the tail’s supporting muscles are very large in comparison to other birds.
These modifications allow a woodpecker's tail to serve as a sturdy prop that supports its weight while clinging to trees.
Providing peanuts is a great addition to the choices you offer your backyard birds. Peanuts are a high-energy food and are enjoyed by a wide variety of birds such as woodpeckers, titmice, nuthatches, chickadees, jays and more. Many of their visits will be to carry peanuts off and cache them for a later meal.
You can attract those peanut-loving birds with our Medium Mesh Peanut Feeder. Our Medium Mesh Peanut Feeder is designed to hold peanut pieces. This easy-to-fill and easy-to-hang feeder is a breeze to use. Our lifetime guarantee on the feeder also covers squirrel and raccoon damage. We also sell this feeder in Green.
The EcoTough™ Tail Prop Suet Feeder lets birds eat in a natural way. The paddle simulates a tree trunk and offers birds a place to prop their tail while they feed. Our feeder holds one suet cake, is easy to fill and hangs anywhere.
EcoTough feeders and houses are environmentally friendly, high quality products that are made from recycled plastic milk jugs. These feeders and houses prevent used milk jugs from making their way into our landfills. EcoTough feeders and houses won't rot, crack, fade or warp like wood can. They also come with limited lifetime guarantees. Also come is a double suet size which is more preferred for larger woodpeckers like the Pileated (holds two suet cakes).
