What type of insects did Woody Woodpecker consume?

Question

Also what species of woodpecker was Woody? I have yet to see a woodpecker that talks, by the way, so I think it's a bunch of bulls***.

Answer 1

He had a real fondness for attorney ants and carpenter beetles. You have never seen a woodpecker that talks because they're invisible.  Where do you think the voices in your head originate? Talking woodpeckers!

And watch your language. Mine's English.

Answer 2

In summer, the grey-headed woodpecker eats maggots, beetle larvae and other insects.

The Ivory-billed Woodpecker feeds mainly on the larvae of wood-boring beetles, but also eats seeds, fruit, and other insects.

Answer 3

The pilated woodpecker is said to have served as model for Woody Woodpecker

Its profile:

His diet contains not only insects (especially beetle larvae and carpenter ants) but also fruits, berries and nuts.

Apropos "talking"

Wikipedia says: "The call is a wild laugh".

It talks, but we cant understand.

PS

Could you please tell me the meaning of "bunch of bulls";

I cant find it in my dictionary? Thanks!!!
