It is characterized by its distinctive black, white and red plumage and robust, white or light-colored bill. These birds are known for their insectivorous feeding habits, feeding primarily on insect larvae which they extract from tree bark using their powerful beaks. 🦚 I offer many other birds from the same series, all different and unique, but also other images for interior decoration for nature lovers or botanists. 🐦 given its size, the engraving will be sent by tube [ref. 027.savasvö1] 🦤 do not hesitate to contact me for more information or for a group purchase with discounts and advantageous shipping costs.
