[@AnimalFactFiles]

What do you think of the oxpecker? Friend or foe?

I knew they drank blood. But I didn't realize they were the same birds who ate ticks. It's funny that they'd choose one tick species over others. I think these birds are mutualistic. But can be overbearing at times. Lol

[@AnimalFactFiles]

That's fascinating you knew them for their blood drinking and not the other way! Glad you learned something new on this one 🥰

[@tracybowling1156]

@@AnimalFactFiles You'd be surprised at the amount of wildlife documentaries I watch on YT. I should have been a biologist! Ooooh weeeellll.

Oh my gosh cómo aves tan diminutos pueden hacer una tarea grande a los animales qué hermoso 🙏🏻🥺👏👏👏🇨🇱🇩🇪

What sounded like an attempt to hold back a little laugh while saying "ox peckers" at the start of the video gave me a good snort-laugh. I can't help myself; I'm 38, going on 6. 😅

[@AnimalFactFiles]

[@AnimalFactFiles]

So glad you learned something new! Thanks for watching and commenting

[@paintcandan5972]

the more you learn about birds the weirder they get.

[@jrag1000]

Isn't it weird that a bird that eats blood have red beaks?

[@jadenl629]

could u guys do one on wildebeest? really want to know more about them🙏

[@jadenl629]

[@TheBiohazard3179]

Do the 'go away' bird.

Please do Japanese bullhead shark. They are small brown sharks with tan stripes on their flanks.

Has anyone watched The Rhino and The Redbill pilot?

Reminds me of a Sesame Street song when I was a kid:
Oh can't you see, there's a bird on me
Oh woe is me, there's a bird on me
I'm so durn sick of every feathered friend, oh gee!
Stop your chirping and quack quack quack
Come on birdie get off my back!

[@jadenl629]

i guess oxpeckers are both good and bad to their hosts?🤔 anyways, learned a lot, thanks for the vid!🥰
