The Drumming Woodpecker
Step into the big, leafy forest, where the air smells fresh and green, and the trees stretch high into the sky. The morning sun peeks through the branches, the birds are singing… but listen—tap-tap-tap!
Who’s making that tiny drumbeat? It’s a woodpecker! With its bright red cap and sharp little claws, this busy bird clings to the tree, tapping, tapping, tapping. But why? In this immersive episode of Little Listens, young explorers will follow the drumming woodpecker as it listens for tiny bugs hidden under the bark, pecks into the tree, and slurps up its tasty breakfast with a long, sticky tongue!
Feel the fast, rattling drumroll of its beak—so quick it never gets a headache! And did you know? Woodpeckers don’t just drum for food… they drum to talk! Their tapping is a secret code, sending messages through the trees.
As the little drummer flutters away, the forest keeps humming, whispering, and singing. Take one last deep breath of the fresh, leafy air… and listen to the Drumming Woodpecker.
Perfect for bedtime, quiet time, or curious explorers on the go.
