Krish: The yellow-billed oxpecker feeds on insects and ticks, earning its name from its behaviour of perching on large mammals and consuming parasitic arthropods. In a single day, it can remove over 100 ticks. While ticks are a significant part of its diet, the oxpecker prefers blood and will peck at wounds on mammals to feed directly. Despite this behaviour, mammals generally tolerate the presence of oxpeckers.
Brian Morin: Good shot and neat story
