Oxpeckers: Nature's Cleanup Crew! These clever birds help keep large mammals clean by feasting on ticks and insects."
Oxpeckers are small, African bird species known for their symbiotic relationship with large mammals. These birds feed on ticks and other parasites found on the skin of animals such as rhinos, zebras, and giraffes. Additionally, they serve as an alarm system, alerting their hosts to the presence of predators. Despite their beneficial role, they can sometimes be considered a nuisance, as they have been known to peck at wounds, slowing the healing process.
