Why does the green woodpecker tap on the tree trunks?

The Discovery of Picolo the Green Woodpecker

After meeting Herald, the shy little hedgehog with sharp spikes hiding his true gentleness, and completing an epic hike on the paths of the wild roses, Forestin and Fleurie find a hidden trail that nature had kept well hidden. After following this trail, they discover an ancient(1) wood where centuries-old trees(2) stand proudly. The sun filters through the leaves(3), creating patterns of light on the ground. Forestin, with his usual energy, and Fleurie, always curious, advance carefully, their eyes wide with the beauty of this place. Suddenly, a regular drumming(4) sound catches their attention.

Forestin, curious, asks Fleurie:
« Listen, Fleurie, what is that? »

Fleurie, curious, says:
« I don't know, Forestin. Let's go see. »

After walking a few meters, they spot Picolo the Green Woodpecker, tapping on a tree trunk with his strong(5) beak. Curious, they quietly approach and watch Picolo pecking at the bark. Forestin, curious, asks Fleurie why Picolo is doing that.

Forestin, curious, asks:
« Why is Picolo the Green Woodpecker tapping on the tree? »

Fleurie, after watching Picolo the Green Woodpecker, says: « I think Picolo the Green Woodpecker is looking for something special. He is not just tapping to find insects, but maybe to find a hidden message. The old animals of the forest sometimes left clues(6) in the trees. »

Meanwhile, Picolo the Green Woodpecker keeps tapping away, not noticing Forestin and Fleurie. Forestin, eager to see more, decides to get a little closer. Just then, Picolo stops and turns towards the two friends. He greets them happily, his eyes shining with curiosity.

Picolo the Green Woodpecker, curious, asks:
« Hello, Forestin and Fleurie! Did you come to see what I'm doing? »

It is then revealed to the two friends that some tree barks hide messages left by the old animals of the forest. Forestin and Fleurie are amazed by this discovery and decide to follow Picolo the Green Woodpecker to learn more.

The Secrets of the Trees

Picolo the Green Woodpecker tells them that these messages are clues to find hidden treasures in the forest. Forestin and Fleurie are excited to find these treasures.

Picolo the Green Woodpecker, with a cheeky smile, says:
« Follow me, I will show you how to find the messages. »

Forestin, curious, asks then:
« How do we find the messages? »

Picolo the Green Woodpecker, with a cheeky smile, explains:
« Tap on the tree trunks with your hoof. Listen carefully to the sounds. »

After a few tries, they find a message that leads them to a secret glade. Along the way, they meet obstacles like fallen branches and thorny bushes. But thanks to their determination and the help of Picolo the Green Woodpecker, they manage to overcome them.

Fleurie, while pushing through a thorny bush, says:
« It's tough to get through, but we can do it! »

As the day comes to an end, golden rays of sunlight sneak through the shiny leaves. Forestin and Fleurie, excited by their discovery of secret messages and guided by Picolo the Green Woodpecker, continue their adventure. Suddenly, a new melody floats above the trees: houlouhou hou-hou! This special song can only belong to Hilda, the tawny owl(7). What new forest secret will this wise creature share with them?
