The Pikachu Bird, The Cream-colored Woodpecker Has Amazing Feathers

This beautiful creamy-yellow woodpecker is native to South America and resident in its range. The nominate race presents very variable coloration in plumage, with wide degree of individual variation.

Creamy-coloured Woodpecker, as most of woodpeckers, performs undulating flight, with series of rapid wing beats and brief glides on closed wings that produces a characteristic bounding flight. Breeding season occurs from April to June in Colombia, maybe earlier in Venezuela. Nesting behaviour is unknown, but Cream-coloured Woodpecker probably nests in cavities, in holes in trees. Cream-coloured Woodpecker is not globally threatened. It is more or less common according to the region.
