Most species of treecreeper occur in the Palearctic and Indomalayan realms, from Western Europe to Japan and India. One species occurs in North America from Alaska to Nicaragua. All species of treecreeper are found in forest and woodland habitats.

The Treecreeper is a small, very active bird that lives in trees. It has a long, slender, downcurved bill, which it uses to pluck insects from underneath bark. It's speckly brown above and mainly white below.

Common names: treecreeper, tree mouse. Scientific name: Certhia familiaris. Family: Certhiidae (treecreepers) Habitat: broadleaf and conifer woodland. Diet: insects and seeds. Predators: nests are predated by woodpeckers and small mammals; adults are …

The Eurasian treecreeper or common treecreeper (Certhia familiaris) is a small passerine bird also known in the British Isles, where it is the only living member of its genus, simply as treecreeper.It is similar to other treecreepers, and has a curved bill, patterned brown upperparts, whitish underparts, and long stiff tail feathers which help it creep up tree trunks.

With its spiraling foraging pattern and bark-like camouflage, this tiny woodland acrobat is a master of vertical tree climbing.

The genus Certhia was introduced in 1758 by the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus in the tenth edition of his Systema Naturae. [3] The genus name is from the Ancient Greek κερθιος/kerthios, a small insectivorous bird that lived in trees mentioned by Aristotle, perhaps a treecreeper. [4] The type species is the Eurasian treecreeper (Certhia familiaris).

treecreeper, any of more than a dozen species of small slender birds, with downcurved bills, that spiral up tree trunks in search of insects. They are variously classified in the families Certhiidae and Climacteridae.

Creeping up the bark of a tree in search of food, the Treecreeper’s cryptic brown, white and yellow-gold plumage gives it the perfect camouflage. Treecreepers need mature trees in which to search the bark's nooks, crannies and fissures for invertebrate food.

A slim, tit-sized bird, the treecreeper has a long, pointed tail and a fine, downwards-curved bill. Treecreepers climb up trees in a spiral around the trunk, feeding on insects and spiders that they find in crevices in the bark.
