Pet Woodpecker

- We found this woodpecker when it was just a baby. It had fallen out of a tree. Over the next month we raised this bird and eventually it was able to fly. It would come back home for breakfast and for lunch. The rest of the time it was out in the wild. It kept coming back for about 2 weeks. We haven't seen it since. But I'm sure he has his own family now.

I used to take care of a baby woodpecker. I somehow taught it to fly by a miracle and one day it flew away. It still comes back once in a while and I leave some fruit out for it.😊🐦

you were successful and did well. Not too many hand fed birds survive after they are released because most people do not know how to raise them according to their species and know little on rehabilitating them back into the wild so they can survive on their own. Plus the people that raise them can never be true substitute for their parents, teaching them their particular songs and calls of their regions, and social habits and etc. the avian world is actually a lot more complicated than one thinks. ;-)
Jacob Stackable woodpeckers like many other birds main sources of food includes but is not limited to fruit.
It sounds like an old printer when it "chirps," haha! Very cool, though.

Hey that’s right!
Ahh, dot-matrix days....
Yes
Hahaha! You're so right! 🖨️
He's so talkative!
Woodpecker “ nice place you got here. Love the wooden deck!”
He's a yellow shafted northern flicker.
Yep. He's male too, as you can see by his malar stripe
flicker or woodpecker same thing

Flicker is a type of woodpecker.
+cookode I know.
cookode - Ah! I knew the name, it was on the tip of my tongue...
Thanks!
I love how he looks right at you when he chirps. He's saying something important, but unfortunately he's a bird.
I LOVE THE NOISES IT MAKES WHEN IT EATS ITS SO FUNNY XD

That "woodpecker" appears to be a Northern Flicker, but to your credit, the flickers and woodpeckers do share a taxonomic family - Picidae.
Flickers ARE a woodpecker.
EngelSpiel this is a Northern Flicker, yet they are of the same family.
By bird law you are correct
Average life span for a Woodpecker is 4-12 years. This video is 12 years old meaning if he's still alive that Woodpecker is an old man now.
love the noise it makes when eating lol
I don't know why, but it seems like hand raised wild birds make the most wonderful, loyal pets!
I had a crow as a kid when I was very young. That guy rivals any dog ive ever owned, im waiting for the day another decides to be my friend.. Extremely intelligent animals. Mine could say good morning and good night, and knew key words from my favorite story book.
I can say the same for my first pet pigeon who understood over 20 words and phrases. Most people have no idea of how smart certain birds are. @@scumbaggo
Looks like a baby northern flicker. They're easier to hand feed when they're fledglings.they trust a lot quicker. I've been feeding a red bellied woodpecker for the past year. If you have a handful of mealworms or peanuts it won't take long till theyre pecking at your back door at 6am.
Hahahaha!!! I imagine not. Those are two foods which are beloved by red bellied woodpeckers. They also love suet. Have you tried feeding that?
***** oh yes, they love peanut suet, especially the pileated woodpeckers. I'd like to learn how to make my own. It would be much cheaper that way.
+steph, you can find recipes online! :). You could even add mealworms. They love those too! : P
What a beautiful story in the description. I'm sure it must have been emotional that he stopped coming back, but you know this was because you all did such an amazing job so that he could go back to the wild healthy and start a brood of his own. Lovely people.
A beautiful Northern Flicker. Lucky bird!
Lovely bird
What a GORGEOUS little girl... I think she will grow up to be one... very talkative, let's hope she grows out of that, LOL.
GREAT POST! Thank you so much!
This one is a male because of the mustache on his face next to his beak
It's great that this bird got help and then went about having a normal life as a bird again.
What a beautiful Northern Flicker!
Beautiful yard
Sooooo precious! I love woodpeckers! He's such a chatty little fellow. Cutie pie!

Noisy little guy. But sure cute!
He is soo cute and loves to talk, your soo lucky to have had a chance to raise the little guy til he could fly away. I love birds and i have feeders and bird baths in my yard for them.
talkative little guy! I’ve never seen a bird make so much noise! at least it’s cute!
Woodpeckers are noisy in several ways. Some species have real loud calls. In spring they search something to drum on, imagine the bird jackhammering some piece of thin sheet metal (like post cap). That can echo for a good kilometer or more.
Beautiful northern flicker
Here in Texas you can have a pet Peckerwood. They are messy, but with proper training they can be allowed in the house on occasion.
Just had a yellow bellied sapsucker found injured pass after 2 weeks of friendship. Woodpeckers are sweethearts
i found an abondoned woodpecker ive been taking care of him hes very small and looks like woody the woodpecker lol hes hes tame and has made friends with my cockatiel green cheak conure and sun conure
Uber cool! I love hearing them drum. Glad he'she is back in the wild.
Cute Birdie! Very TENDERS!!!!
that sound it makes when its eating lol 😅😂😂😂😂
Noisy little guy
so cool, and the noise it makes is funny. could be used for an alarm clock!
It would make me get up. And then I'd try not to destroy the alarm clock with a sledge hammer. Lol
i love how it sounds like a little feathered chainsaw revving while it chatters
What a beauty he is! It’s a male northern flicker, and they’re usually found up north. Which stands in they’re name.
Regular mode:
"BAH! BAH! BAH! BAH! BAH! BAH!"
Eating mode:
"BAH! Ba-ba-bababababababa-bah BAH!"
I think that is a baby Northern Flicker in your hand. How cool. From their markings, I think they are somehow related to the Blue Jays. I love the sounds he makes when he eats. Nature is wonderful, no?
What a cute little noise-thing
That is so cute! Good for you for rearing this little darling!
He got a lot to say
How cute is that! I can't believe how noisy he/she is. I have 3 of them around our house. They come every day to eat suet cake. They are so beautiful birds.
What a beautiful yard
Just when you thought you have seen all kinds of pets here comes a pet woodpecker . Nice Job UA-cam 👍🙏
Vids like this are why I keep returning to YT.
Nom nom nom nomnom...he knew right where that food was!
I like how he hits warp speed when eating
I'm sure he means well, but that chirp is incessant.
Wow..how rare for this to happen. You were very lucky to have experienced this, especially with this species of bird,
He so handsome
Cutie ❤️
What's his name? Woody? He sounds so funny when he eats. It's like he's going "Yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy." Cute but noisey.
Aww I had hand raised an infant starling from a freshly hatched baby to an adult. She had fallen out of herMomma's nest that was in the waves of my house. I couldn't put her back. When she got big enough, I'd take her outside and dig at the dirt with my fingers to stir up the bugs and she would go for them eagerly lol. Piglet, as she was named, was successfully reintroduced into the wild and I would see little flocks of Starlings everyday for the longest time eating the dog food that was left outside for my pit boxer, Trooper. See, the food that the Internet had told me to use for her was dog or cat food, I can't remember which, and applesauce. So, she taught the other Starlings that this stuff was edible and apparently awesome lol. It was very neat and very rewarding.
+Dessi Hall I hate to be a Debbie Downer, but unless you live in Europe, you shouldn't be caring for starlings. They are the most destructive invasive birds in North America and as far as I know, every state will let you take these birds at any time and in any way.
+Dessi Hall What happened to Piglet? Did she pass? how old? did she attempt to fly away outside or did she follow you?
I have a Sparrow, raised from a few days after hatch and now 2 years old.
+Dessi Hall
Starlings are vermin. I shoot them on sight.
why?
Dessi Hall I
Cute flicker bird
i instantly love you for doing this
LOL it's funny how the wood pecker eats! O I'm dying and it sounds like the wood pecker is ckoking
He's obviously stressed out about the bills, the car note, rent, the russian neighbors and processed honey.
Woodpeckers love digging...save ur eyes ,coz one day he may dig in ur eyes just 4 fun.😊
He was probably just a couple of days old, it had no feathers.
omg it soo funny sounding and looking when it eats i loove it
What a chatty little guy! So cute!
I dunno why but I've always wanted to pet a Woodpecker
he has a lot to say! :)
so cute and chatty
That's good but daaaaang bro! Your deck is so huge and neat looking and your yard looks like a gulf coarse! Also the area looks pretty high class. Must be pretty cool to live there.
Awwwwwwww that's such a cute puppy
Very cool
Funny how the comments are like 80% ppl stating that this is a Northern Flicker, not a woodpecker. LOL! A northern flicker IS a woodpecker! That's like saying, "Bob isn't a human, he's a primate!"
Nice garden too !
Adorable😍
❤❤❤
Name him Gregory. Gregory Peck.
Cute bird. Sounds like a yappy little dog.
Thats a very beautiful bird you have there (very noisy too, lol).
This is awesome!! What a little sweetie. You have a gorgeous backyard, btw.
Guess who? Ha-ha-ha-haha! Hehehehehehe!
It's a juvenile Northern Flicker, and is probably calling for it's parents. Doesn't seem to be injured. While a great experience for the person, it belongs in the wild.
Birds can socialize with humans, pet is not calling parents cause its parents are human
It's in the wild. Not caged
What they said that bird could leave her if it wanted to.
I have Redbellied woodpecker, that I call my boy. He brings his babies to feed in my trees & we chuk chuk chuk back & forth. I also have mourning doves that return every year, to my air conditioner, to have their broods. I call them my babies (but never interfere).
My chickadees will handfeed, but I keep an open hand & never try to hold them. I do however call to them & all 'my' birds call to me for food, or as soon as they see me start chatting to me. 'My' robins sit at my kitchen window for their grapes. I recently saved an unknown olive green bird that hit my window. However, here on Long Island, you must contact a licensed rehabber. I would hope that anyone seeing her 'pet' will know who to contact to rehab an injured or orphaned bird. Wild birds, wild animals belong free in the wild. 🦋🦋🦋
this is a northern flicker. it's also a boy
Thank you
Sounds like a miniature chihuaua
He's a cute little fella. 😁🐦👍 How did you get him?
With kindness and of course food, you can tame almost anything!......Except of course the human female.
lmao
*Cough cough* Sorry that we're animal that can be easily tamed
John Farque I didn't know you could tame humans XD
Julia Crawford humans are too intelligent and selfish. :/
go back to /r/incel
That was awesome!
Awww what a cute little doggy. He looks so small and birdish.
This is great! I love Birds & animals and you have done a good job !
What were you feeding it?
Actually, I think that's a Northern Flicker. Still a woodpecker though.
nice!
Those are usually very skittish around humans, you’re lucky!
this is supremely cool. waht a neat experience for you. what did you feed it as a little one? you know its a flicker don't you?
can you make a video of your backyard?
I loved it and I want to get ideas from it
Cute
You can call yourself a "Wood Tamer".
I saved a hummingbird and it comes back every day and today I rescue a house sparrow in the middle of the street when the green light was on and now he/she got attach to me
It's a woodpecker but flicker is more accurate.
very chatty cute bird xD
Little cutie
Northern Flicker.
Ermmnoom noom yup that's a sound I call cute
I think he's freaked out by his reflection in the camera screen.
Awww so cutw
Very cool, it reminds me when I had a pet crow growing up. He loved wet dog food and we could call him or tap on the can and he would land on your shoulder to eat.
Have you seen male flickers fencing? Someday, I'll post all the different fencing matches I have.
