It can get into places for food that might rather be accessible , for instance into a little hole during a log .
The beak of the woodpecker finch is long and pointed . They allow the finch to probe deeply into cavities in search of food .
How do woodpeckers hold twigs?

It holds twigs and cactus spines in its strong beak and with amazing dexterity , uses the twig or spine as a search to stab or lever insects from crevices and tree holes .

The use of such probes is very time- consuming therefore it will engage this technique during times of food scarcity such as in the dry season .
During the more favorable wet season , prey is generally in abundance and so the finch is more reliant on its specialized pointed beak to probe among moss and bark for prey .
Thus, the pointed beak of a woodpecker finch helps it get food is accessible into a small hole in a log .
