Well he is lucky to have someone helping him/her out. Very cute little birdy. 👍

Great at an ear massage… until you get an almighty war peck from him….

Teach him how to peck a face and back cut and put him to work 🤘

Cheers mate. I think it’s a seed from the fatball they seem to like 👍

Regularly have two on my feeder, one feeding the other.

Just the one this morning.

Had a young crow sitting on the fence shouting at a wood pigeon  I think he was trying to get the pigeon to feed him  . Eventually the pigeon flew off and the crow immediately followed it .

If this woodpecker saw you from day 1 then birds then relate to that person as its parent....sounds weird but we have done a bit of bird of prey flying and that is how the birds view their handlers if they have been reared from an incubator. 

I think it is known as imprinting and is pretty much impossible to reverse. I hope the little fella makes it out there otherwise you may have a woodpecker to rear for a few years....not sure how long they live for.
