What are woodpeckers home called?

Woodpeckers make their homes in cavities that they excavate in trees. These cavities are called "nests" or "cavities". Woodpeckers typically excavate their nests in dead or dying trees, and they may use the same nest for multiple years. The size and shape of the nest cavity varies depending on the species of woodpecker. Some woodpecker species, such as the pileated woodpecker, excavate large, deep cavities that can be up to 2 feet deep. Other woodpecker species, such as the downy woodpecker, excavate smaller, shallower cavities that are typically less than 1 foot deep.
