A female Luzon Flameback feeding a young one. Luzon Flamebacks use their sharp, very robust beaks to drill holes into tree trunks and then extend their very long tongues (you can see in the video at around 0:40) to extract grubs. These woodpeckers are endemic to the Philippines and can only be found in Luzon and nowhere else.
