Woodpecker’s
Winter Food
Budget
Plan
Whoa! Whoa! Not so fast there,
little one! I was just about to explain
to you that we need to make a food
budget to make sure that this food
lasts all winter. It looks like a lot of
food now, but we need food for the
next three months!

Wow, mom!
It looks like
we’ve stored
way more food
than we need!
Let’s throw a
big party for all
our feathered
friends!
AP! TAP! TAPPITY! TAP! Woodpeckers
use their strong beaks to tap holes into
tree trunks. Then they fill each hole with
acorns, pine nuts, seeds and more to
save for later.
A woodpecker’s storage tree is also called
a granary tree. The same granary tree is
used for generations. Some granary trees
have over 10,000 holes!

What’s a budget? A budget is a plan that helps you to
best use your resources, such as food or money!
THINK ABOUT IT: How is a granary tree like
a piggy bank?
And we have to store
extra food because
squirrels like to help
themselves to the food
in our granary tree!
How rude!
Mom and Little One have 63 acorns. Color the amount of acorns they can eat each
day this week if they want the acorn supply to last for three weeks.

Plus, some of our
stored food gets eaten
by bugs. And some of
it will get wet and rot
before we can eat it.
So we need a budget!

woodpecker fact!
