Red-billed Woodhoopoe A woodpecker with the most amazing shiny blue-green metallic feathers. They have a very distinct call that alerts one of their presence immediately when they come to feed. |

Red-billed Woodhoopoe The group consists of the mother, father, the baby (with the black bill), and last seasons baby. Although the new baby is completely capable of feeding itself, everyone in the group feeds the baby on a regular basis (just in case it didn't get enough to eat). |
