Yellow-fronted woodpeckers are highly social, gathering together in groups to forage for fruit from trees. Often roosting on branches, sometimes leaping from herbaceous heights to feed on berries, caged individuals also eat insects and prefer nectar, indicating that wild species can also probe into flowers to feed on nectar. When seeking a mate or threatening an enemy, he will constantly move his head up and down from side to side to show off yellow eye circles and a bright red crown.31adc6ed8a136327f7650a189a8fa0ec09fac781_九雷图片转换器.jpg
