Corrected sentence:

With its pointy beak, the woodpecker can peck a hole in a tree for its nest.

Why this is better (easy steps):

  • The phrase "With its pointy beak" is an introductory phrase, so we put a comma after it.
  • We use the verb "peck" because woodpeckers peck at trees with their beaks.
  • "A hole in a tree" sounds clearer than "a tree hole."
  • "For its nest" tells why the woodpecker makes the hole, and that is fine. You can also say "to make a nest."

Another short version: The woodpecker pecks a hole in a tree with its pointy beak to make a nest.
