- This camera watches over Gowrie dam on Djuma Game Reserve, in the Sabi Sand Wildtuin, South Africa. In fact this is the oldest waterhole cam in Africa and the world. It’s been broadcasting LIVE from this spot since 1998. With some luck you will see big cats coming for a drink o even on a kill close by. You can also expect to see a lot of impala (light brown antelope), waterbuck (white circle on rump), nyala (males have yellow legs and females have white stripes on flanks) and many other types of mammals, birds and reptiles.
The camera is remotely controlled by a volunteer corps of people around the world known as ‘zoomies’. They log into the camera according to a schedule in shifts, and pan, tilt and zoom in search of animals. They also Tweet sightings @WildEarth Djuma was started almost twenty years ago as a safari, lodge by the Moolman family, and is renowned for the quality of its game safaris.
Who is here after the crows eating ticks off kangaroos?
I`m here after being out to lunch.
Yo chizzy me bro
🙋🏻♀️
Yup. Reminded me to bush hog my paddock to keep the ticks down.
TH-cam algorithm rng delivers again
Young impala : mom my ear itch
Mother impala: okay today I am taking you to the birds
No please don't. Last time he hurt me so much.
@@pietekoo5559 we are going and I don't want to hear it.
Birds: *in a french accent* HOHOHOON! YeS yes yes inDEED you've got a TICKS problem iT SEEMS, let me get it out for YOUN!
😂😂😂😂
I'm sure most people know but in case you don't these birds will also peck until they cause a bleeding wound upon which they will feed. So they are not wholly symbiotic.
They also drink blood and can cause more harm then the ticks they eat. This one was repeatedly going for the same spot. It may be going after the blood directly.
They are vampires.
I think its pretty clear tht the bird is not picking away ticks, if u notice, its picking at the same spot over and over, its picking away at a wound in the ear.
Yeah, Oxpeckers are actually assholes. Though to be fair, I do not know if this applies to all species.
A lot of cleaner species, whether is be birds or fish will obviously clean ticks and parasites, but they will also create wounds to drink blood. There's a really interesting research paper on cleaner fish (blinies I believe) and the frequency of this behaviour when with fish that would and wouldn't allow it.
If there are no ticks, ya gotta do what ya gotta do. The deer probably lets it because it can't tell whether or not there is a tick.
HisSpeedBullet posted this:
"Oxpeckers will sit on certain mammals and target the ticks and other small parasites found on the skin and in the coats of these animals. Oxpeckers’ bills are especially adapted to their lifestyle. The bills are pointed as well as laterally compressed which helps the birds work their way through the coats of the mammals in a comb-like fashion and to pry out well embedded parasites.
The birds are also known to help clean-up open wounds. What they are after around the open sore is the rotting wound tissue. Oxpeckers are quite efficient at cleaning these lesions."
Not sure how accurate but I dont see why not, the birds wouldn't want to intentionally hurt the animals since they'd be getting free, easily acquired food from them on a regular basis anyway.
I was starting to think that to.
the color of the eyes and beak on that "oxpecker" are wild.
That is quite a bird, isn't it?
Some would wish those colors on their dinner late
Oh yes!🤩
Everything is "wild" to you tards. 🙄🤡
When you think it's a pimple but you just found a new mole...
There are still a lot of people who are unaware about the Oxpecker's true nature.
They are vampires.
What, peckin' on ungulates?
What fantastic camerawork - Insane clarity.
Incredible footage
This bird is drinking blood : he stays at the same place again and again ; it's a vampire 🧛♂️ bird
Adorable little helper
И козочка, и птичка - просто прелесть!
Beautiful video watching from Scotland
This is very relaxing to watch.
It is also disturbing. Ox peckers are vampires and will not quit.
That one mosquito in the middle of the night by your ear:
Pretty birds with really wild colored eyes !!
Cuteness to the fullest he knows he is helping him. Sooo cute luv nature
Omg nice captured 👌👌👌
It has to be sipping blood from and open cut. I’ve seen crows pick ticks off of cows faster than that and the crows didn’t peck at the same spot continuously. So it has to be taken blood.
He’s picking away at the dead tissue around the wound, not the blood
@@crypastesomemore8348 "but it is of no benefit to the host. By the time an oxpecker eats a fully engorged female blue tick, it has already bitten the host, passed on any diseases it is carrying, drained all the blood it is going to take"
@@bildabonkher6452 it's of benefit to every animal though, because once engorged they lay thousands of eggs.
@@Cheesus-SlicedWhat does that have to do with pecking at the dead tissue? 🙄
@Tritiuminducedfusion nothing, its in reference to ticks.
Amazing
The Oxpecker has made a cut in it’s ear and is feeding on the blood
lol yup.
These birds look like Buphagus africanus and Buphagus erythrorhynchus (are hematophagous bird species).
That has to feel sooooooo good!
@@tripplefives1402 Ah, didn't know they drink blood as well. Makes sense.
@@tripplefives1402 Very cool, man, you are really knowledgeable, are you a biologist or naturalist?
Usually I know this kind of stuff, but not very familiar with this bird, obviously.
@@tripplefives1402 Sounds like a good hobby, much worse things you could do with your time than learn
@@tripplefives1402 There are yellow-beaked Oxpeckers and red-beaked ones. The beak color might be natural. But otherwise you are indeed correct. Those birds are vampires, in a way.
Great work by this fella. Very patient and helpful with his client. Impala better have slid him a $20.
Those oxpeckers do a mighty fine job cleaning thicks off!
Amazing👍
muito lindo os bichonhos
relaxing and enjoying scratching.
Ikr
yeah, it's relieving the Impala, which can't scratch or pick at an annoyingly itchy wound, the impala only flinches when the bird hits a painful spot.
Good job!!!👍
Nature has such a balance
Those birds are the vampires of the bird world.
Most probably the bird's not eating ticks but rather drinking blood from an open wound, as it's keep going for the same spot again and again. 2:15 it just looks like vampire
Are these birds can see what they eating?
THX🌺🌺🌺
"thanks, but other ear now please"
Such beautiful creatures of God
Que bonitos son los pájaros y que picó más rojo👏👏👏👏👏🇪🇦💔💃🏻
What a cutee little vampire
The bird is a renowned ENT specialist in animal kingdom
Do the impalas have to make an appointment?
What's it pecking on the same spot that seems plentiful that we can't see ?...
Ticks, Mites, Lice and Fleas
They open up wounds to drink blood, apparently when there are not enough ticks. So I'm guessing that's what's going..
@@suvivasqwibqwib4083 Sometimes
Science is not considering this a good bird bc they keep the injured alive by not letting the blood coagulate .
@@nickbrooks7171 Nature always finds a way to balance itself eventually, survival of the fittest
The feeling is just like Stirling your ears with feathers .
Bird as hair dresser: please do not move or else you will be troubled. Deer as customer: never mind.
Good natural doctor
All but a symbiotic relationship here
So next what does God do for animals dealing with foxtail?
Omg I clean my ears every day. Crows are the best. It's not like they have cotton swabs and fingers to clean thier own ears.
Oxpecker is like an ENT specialist who will not leave one patient till he gets another.
Naw its a bloodsucking bird 😂
Jeova Deus fez todas as coisas de modo correto...!😍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Why is it so relaxing to watch Ox peckers annoy the hell out these animals 🤔 ?
Милая птичка
hold on impala , I AM trying to help you ! I GOT YOU !
Its drinking blood from the open wound it has created.
The balance that GOD has created in nature is so amazing!
That's what you call a great ENT/Skin specialist: An oxpecker
Ticks: “ NOOO!! WHAT ARE THE ODDS??!?’ WHAT ARE THE ODDSSSS!??!?!?!??!! “
Que pássaro bonito.
"...i just dropped in for a snack a d this was the only open table...."😊
He was really going in on that one ear.
She or he is so beautiful. * -*
All the creations of our almighty Allah,s are wonderful !
I don't care if you don't like it, these are MY snacks in your ears!
Hey Doc how does that ear look?
Well, I cleaned as much as i could but you really need to take care of personal hygiene.
Что она делает?
It's like science fiction !
Is the bird annoying the young impala or is it grooming it ?
Let's say both😆
bird is helping impala,cause It eats parasites on Impala's head.
And Impala is letting the bird to have nice meal!
Ohhhhhh 😍
Funny. Bird hits the same spot ?
💓
That one ear lol and he gives it to him lol
Животные и птицы помогают друг другу
Natural doctor is here😊😊
Ahiii hay cochura y betas 👌👌👌👌👌👏👏👏👏👏👏🇪🇦💔💃🏻

How did birds find out that other animals had bugs on them?
These birds specialise in picking insects like ticks and fleas off animals like antelope and buffalo. Not sure how they originally figured it out though : D
oxpeckers' eyes are like zombies from "28 days later..."
This is called symbiotic relationship.
It is actualy more closer parasitism unfortunately. What ever the Oxpecker does, it is not to the benefit of the Impala. Most likely it is in fact damaging.
If it does peck away some ticks, it is more a happy coincidence, but they are mostly after animal blood (wich they do get over the ticks, if they are bloated already, but they often create their own source by pecking open a wound)
Isso que é uma conversa ao pé do ouvido.
Kkk que lindo 😀😀👏👏
bird is like 2nd grader just started coloring xD
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The impala's ear is hurting after a while, but the bird keeps drilling away!
The bird is a vampire.
The bird wants blood
Those crows were actually looking for ticks these things are vampires
El imparable : para la próxima vez me compro mejor copitos Jhonnson jajajaja
Impala is like right one is done please clean my left one 😀
HAHAHA!
Makes me think they should make some sort of super hero team or super villain duo that has this sort of relationship that ties into their super powers...
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That's "mommy love"
There are a lot of small ticks at the edge of this impala's ear
I bet Oxpeckers would go crazy it they see King Kong
Those red eyes tho...
It’s because they drink blood from ear
Symbiosis!
Subhanallah
Oxpecker`s are God's (Allah`s) gift to Animals who do not have hands.
That's one Tame Impala.
I need oxpeckers for my dogs.
i wish that the people at the DMV worked this hard.
Natures Ear Docta is here lol
I drive one of those
Aqui está a indústria ou a alimentação predileta do pássaro.
A cabeça e o corpo.
Os pássaros comem os frutos certo?
Mas nem sempre tiveram alimentação no início.
Comeriam o quê.
Barro?
Pode ser.
Mas aqui mostrou outra hipótese.
Can You Hear Me Now?
