Is It Pileated... or Pileated Woodpecker? A Playful Twist on a Special Bird

Birdorable Is It Pileated... or Pileated Woodpecker? T-Shirt

We’re excited to shine the spotlight on one of our favorite new funny Birdorable designs, featuring our Pileated Woodpecker. The design is based on its well-known pronunciation diversity: is it PIE-lee-ated or PILL-ee-ated? This striking design is sure to delight bird lovers, word nerds, and woodpecker fans alike.

The Pileated Woodpecker is one of the largest woodpecker species in North America, instantly recognizable by its bold red crest and loud, resonant calls. These birds are known for their impressive drumming sounds, which echo through forests as they excavate wood for food or nesting. Whether you’re a seasoned birder or a casual nature lover, spotting this magnificent bird is always a treat!

At Birdorable, we celebrate birds in a way that’s both adorable and educational. This design highlights the Pileated Woodpecker’s charm while poking fun at the age-old pronunciation debate among bird lovers. The text reads:

“Pileated -or is it- Pileated? Woodpecker”

It’s a cheeky play on the uncertainty many birders encounter when discussing this incredible species. Or on the certainty that some feel about their preferred pronunciation -- and having issues with those who choose another way.

Accompanied by our cute, cartoon rendition of the bird set against a forest backdrop, the design is stylish, fun, and perfect for bird enthusiasts who appreciate a little humor with their ornithology.
