Oxpeckers are avian symbionts found in African savannas, known for their mutualistic bond with large mammals. They feed on ticks and parasites on their hosts while alerting them to potential danger with distinct alarm calls, contributing to the ecosystem's cleanliness and the safety of their hosts. Despite their beneficial role, their feeding habits might hinder wound healing, and habitat changes pose threats to their populations.
