Feeding Habits
Robust Woodpecker predominantly feeds on beetles and wood-boring larvae, occasionally consuming berries. It typically forages alone or with family, favoring the middle storey of large trees for pecking and hammering, which can result in significant excavations.
Habitat
The robust Woodpecker thrives in humid and araucaria forests, which are essential for its survival, particularly areas with a presence of large trees. These birds are typically found in both lowland forests and hilly regions. The robust Woodpecker can adapt to disturbed forests but only if these habitats retain the large trees necessary for their sustenance.
