The Black-rumped Flameback, also known as the Lesser Goldenbacked Woodpecker, is a striking and fiery bird that's like a little artist in the woods.
It sports a vibrant mix of black and gold feathers, especially on its back, making it stand out in the forest.
These woodpeckers are often found in India and other parts of Asia.
What's amazing about them is their talent for drumming.
They use their strong beaks to tap on trees, making a rhythmic sound that echoes through the woods.
It's like they're having their very own woodland concert! These woodpeckers are also friendly and social birds, often seen in pairs or small groups.
If you hear a rapid, drumming sound coming from the trees and spot a bird with a bold black and gold pattern, you've met the Black-rumped Flameback, the woodland artist and percussionist, adding color and music to the forest world.
Medium-sized woodpecker with black and gold plumage and a distinctive red crown.
Typically found in wooded habitats and urban areas with mature trees.
Feeds on insects and tree sap, often hammering on tree trunks with its chisel-like bill.
Builds nests in tree cavities, excavating holes in dead or decaying wood.
