Woodpecker Cider Woodpecker Cider Woodpecker Cider is a sweet cider originally made in 1894 by Percy Bulmer in Herefordshire and today brewed by Bulmers. Woodpecker is noted for a lower alcohol content than most other ciders as well as for its sweet taste. It is available in pubs and bars and is sold in bottles or cans. The brand's logo is the European green woodpecker, which is depicted against a bright red background on the cider cans and on most other packaging. The brand appears to be in a state of managed decline, with sales having dropped by almost one third since
Imperial woodpecker Imperial woodpecker The imperial woodpecker ("Campephilus imperialis") is a species of bird, a member of the woodpecker family Picidae. The genus "Campephilus" is essentially a tropical one, embracing 13 species, including the imperial woodpecker. If it is not extinct, it is the world's largest woodpecker species, at long. Researchers have discovered that the imperial woodpecker has slow climbing strides and a fast wing-flap rate compared with other woodpeckers. Owing to its close taxonomic relationship, and a similarity in appearance, to the ivory-billed woodpecker, it is sometimes called the "Mexican ivorybill", but this name is also used for the pale-billed woodpecker.
