Video Introduction

Woodpeckers are chiefly known for their characteristic behavior. They mostly forage for insect prey on the trunks and branches of trees, and often communicate by drumming with their beaks, producing a reverberatory sound that can be heard at some distance. Have you ever seen woodpeckers pecking on a tree? Woodpeckers are capable of repeated pecking on a tree at high decelerations to the order of 10,000 m/s2. Since they are shaking their heads at such a high speed, why don’t woodpeckers get a headache?[1]
