Woodrow is
a woodpecker Puffkin from Swibco. From his appearance it would
seem that Woodrow is a generic woodpecker. I know of no woodpeckers
that have blue feathers and an all red crested head. So I am
going to call him a red-headed woodpecker and tell you all about
that bird that is pictured below.
The Red-headed Woodpecker (Melanerpes erythrocephalus)
is about 9 inches long. You'll find these woodpeckers in backyards,
farmlands, and woodlands. They feed on insects, berries, and
acorns.
This bird's range is in North America,
pretty much east of the Rockies from southern Canada to the Gulf
states.
The nest is found in a hole in a tree.
There are 4 to 2 white eggs.
This little Red-headed Woodpecker
(right) is only 6 inches long. Wild Republic, maker of these
birds, has joined hands with the National Audubon Society to
create this line of birds. Each bird's lifelike design and detailing
is the result of input from Audubon. Additionally the sounds
in each toy are authentic bird songs provided by The Cornell
Lab of Ornithology. Wild Republic's affiliation with these two
bird organizations emphasizes its commitment to nature conservation.
