About These Birds

Bermuda Flicker

The Bermuda Flicker was a woodpecker endemic to Bermuda that became extinct in the 17th century following human colonization and the introduction of rats and pigs to the islands. Its bones have been found in cave deposits alongside those of other extinct endemic Bermuda birds. It was likely similar to its mainland relatives, foraging on ants and insects.

Abyssinian Woodpecker

The Abyssinian Woodpecker weighs about 25g and is endemic to Ethiopian and Eritrean highland forests. It excavates nest cavities and probes bark for wood-boring insects.
