Lorenokay now im thinking about woodpeckers. does everyone know about their tongues wrapping around and protecting their brains from impact. what a wild adaptation! https://abcbirds.org/blog21/woodpecker-tongues/
Tiny Frightening Woman@loren not sure if you saw my video yesterday?
mrpieceofwork@loren I was looking for a different pic of a woodpecker I have, and could not find it, but I found this gem...

Dani 🍁@loren Thanks Loren. That’s so amazing. I never knew that and now I do 👍
Lucy2204@loren this is cool, I did not know that! 👍
Judy Olo 🚫⚠️kakistocracy🌊@loren And we think we're the master species. Thumbs be gone! Give me that tongue! 🤣🤣👏

Do you know the green woodpeckers? They mostly don't even peck wood, but sit on the ground and lick ants!
They have this really fancy undercut hairstyle.
The male (first two pics) has a red and black spot under his eye. The female's spot is only black. When I first saw one flying, I thought it was a parrot. Those green wings are magic!
Look, once the female brought her child into the tree in front of my window 🥺
