Across our blue planet, a wide variety of creatures develop innovative strategies to gather food while staying safe.

At some times, it’s good to be noticed; at others, you’d like to avoid attention.

This is the challenge faced by the '''Gold-Crested Woodpecker'''.

Their future is uncertain, as these magnificent birds are confined entirely to the [[Blossom Vale]] region of [[Griffin Rock]].

But the woodpeckers have more immediate things to worry about today. Like trying to find nutritious grubs in a decaying branch. It requires a tight grip... and patience.

Ah! Got one!

But sometimes you have to make more of a spectacle. If this male wishes to attract a mate, he’ll have to find just the right way to show off his dazzling bright feathers, without losing his grip and falling.

It takes practice.

She’s not impressed. Better luck next time.
