ivory billed woodpecker

The Ivory-Billed Woodpecker is the third largest bird on Earth. It has a 18-20 inch wingspan and if standing on the ground it is 30-31 inches tall. If you would see only an outline of the bird, you would mainly see an oval. It has feathers that are black, white, and red.

I hope that one day the whole entire world finds out about these poor, helpless birds, and helps keep them alive for as long as we can. But, if the world doesn't find out about the Ivory-Billed Woodpeckers, I also hope that at least one group of people will save as many of these birds as they can.

It was native to the virgin forests of the southeastern United States (along with a separate subspecies native to Cuba). Due to habitat destruction, and to a lesser extent
