It also eats small animals that don’t have backbones, like snails or worms. |

DID YOU KNOW?
- Nuthatches get their name because they are so good
at cracking open nuts. They use their beaks as hammers.
- You can spot a nuthatch right away because they
climb down trees head first. This is why some people call them “upside-down
birds.”
- Nuthatches are good at catching insects even when
they are running or flying!
