Question by loutx2: How long will a redheaded woodpecker live?
I have a big redheaded woodpecker that lives behind my house and it eats seeds from the bird feeder. I really enjoy watching it. It has been there for 3 years at least. How long redheaded woodpeckers live? I have never seen the female woodpecker. I assume the male has the redhead. But I don’t know. Do they have nests? I have never seen any babies either. Just this on big redheaded woodpecker every day for 3 years.

Woodpeckers on everage can live up to about 10-15 years so you should be seeing him around for a long time. They are amazing birds.. And yes they do have nests but bear in mind that it is in a tree somwhere where the male has pecked a hole and nested.
If there are no babies then he probably doesnt have a mate.
And i think you are bieng very kind to give him food every day;)
