Nuthatches are skilled climbers, often seen creeping headfirst down tree trunks, a unique behavior among birds.They forage for insects, seeds, and nuts in tree bark crevices, using their sharp beaks to pry food out. Nuthatches are territorial, particularly during the breeding season, and will defend their area vigorously.
They use a variety of calls and postures to communicate with intruders or rivals.
