British Birds - Tits, Treecreepers and Woodpeckers
Great tits and blue tits learned to break open the foil caps sealing bottles of milk to get at the cream floating on top. As their name implies, treecreepers climb over the surface of trees in search of food. Most species of woodpecker live in forests or woodland habitats, although a few species are known to live in treeless areas such as rocky hillsides and deserts.
