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.
African Piculet
The African Piculet is a remarkably small woodpecker with a wingspan of under 10 cm and a weight of only about 9 g. Found in West and Central African forests, it probes bark and small branches for insects with its short bill.
