FAQ Please read - we encourage questions and comments, but please see if your question is answered in the FAQ below before commenting. Updated 25 October 2020. Q1. Why don't we brush the wallabies to get rid of the ticks? A: Because they are wild animals, not pets. They are shy and do not let us near them. It is also illegal to interfere with native wildlife in Australia Q2. Why don't we trap/catch the wallabies to get rid of the ticks? A: Because it would kill them - following a stressful event such as being chased and captured, wallabies can suffer from rhabdomyolysis, which is the death of muscle fibres and subsequent release of toxins into the bloodstream. This can lead to serious complications such as renal (kidney) failure within 24 hours after the incident and death will occur within 2-14 days later. Q3: Why don't we spend thousands of dollars on tranquilliser dart guns to sedate the wallabies to remove the ticks? A: Maybe if we won lotto, but it would still be illegal. Q4. Why don't we put something in the water to kill ticks? A: At the time this footage was filmed, this was the only water source for many kilometres, and all wildlife depended on it for survival - including bees, reptiles and amphibians. Adding insecticide to the water would result in a catastrophic by-kill of unintended victims. Q5. What's with the wood in the water? A: To provide safe access to the water for small birds, insects, reptiles and amphibians, as well as a way to get out if they fall in. Q6. Don't the heads of the ticks stay attached and cause infection? Aren't they best left to drop off naturally? A: No, the ticks are removed whole - we often find dropped ones in the water, still complete and very much alive. We also get covered in ticks during summer, and pull them off ourselves with little care and without problems - we have never had mouthparts left behind in our skin. Infection only appears to be a problem for the wallabies when large numbers of ticks remain attached in one site, causing inflammation, circulation loss, necrosis and eventually sloughing of necrotic tissue. The older wallabies have all lost the top half of their ears to this process. Bear in mind too, that a single female tick will lay thousands of eggs, so every tick eaten = thousands of eggs not laid. Q7. "You moron, these are crows!"/ "you idiot, these are ravens!". A: There has been terse disagreement in the comments about whether these are Australian ravens (Corvus coronoides) or Torresian crow (Corvus orru). The main difference between the two is in the throat hackles. Whatever your personal opinion in the Great Crow v's Raven Debate, please just pretend that the title supports your view and move on with your life. I'm at the stage of just removing these pointlessly acrimonious comments - people get upset about the strangest things. Q8. You terrible people! How did you let your animals get in this state?! A: These wallabies roam over an enormous range through agricultural land and state forestry, and are as much "our animals" as the wind is "our wind". This footage was filmed during an unprecedented Positive Indian Ocean Dipole event which resulted in a ferocious drought and dried up all natural water sources in the region - some for the first time in living memory. Historically, providing artificial water points has been discouraged in Australia, as macropods are meant to be nomadic and not remain in one place to strip the vegetation. The summer of 2019/2020 marked a change in this official position however, as all of eastern Australia was in severe drought and on fire; there was no where for the wildlife to go. The Department of National Parks and Wildlife even resorted to dropping feed into National Parks by helicopter in an attempt to prevent the loss of entire populations of critically endangered species. We were carting feed and water over 100km to this site, but newcomers were arriving every day, many in horrific condition. Q9. What about Lyme disease? A: Surveillance of Australian ticks has not yet found the presence of the Borrelia bacterium (which causes Lyme disease) in Australia. There are however people who have been diagnosed with Lyme disease after returning to Australia from overseas, and Australian ticks do carry diseases which can have somewhat similar symptoms, including Australian Tick Typhus or Spotted Fever and Flinders Island Spotted Fever, possibly leading to 'Lyme-like disease'. Also of interest is a rare condition called tick-induced mammalian meat allergy, caused by an acquired allergy to the galactose-α-1,3-galactose protein which is found in mammalian meat and animal products such as cow's milk and gelatine. Happily for us, the vast majority of tick-borne illness in Australia arises from Ixodes species, especially Ixodes holocyclus, not the kangaroo tick, Amblyomma triguttatum. Ixodes species are most common in moist, humid coastal areas, which as you can see from the footage, does not in any way describe our property. We take reasonable precautions to avoid tick bites, such as wearing long sleeves and insect repellent, but if we were afraid to pick up a single tick we could not continue our work on this property.
That’s just normal ticks they expand they don’t start off large they can’t walk and wil go into hibernation til they need to feed again that cud be 10ths later

@@ZeroTwo-ir5th to be fair anyone who ever had ticks learned some way or another that pulling them out quickly is the best and easiest way. It rarely ever happens that a ticks head tears of their bodies. But I personally can't recommend applying anti-tick products because it can cause the tick to die while their mandibles are still stuck and they might leak some blood onto the open wound further increasing the odds of infection but that's about where my knowledge ends.
It's impressive how accurate these birds are with their beaks. They have to successfully grasp the ticks quickly and rip them off from an uncooperative host. Their vision must be quite sharp indeed.
Birds tend to have phenomenal eyesight. Eagles and falcons can spot a mouse from a mile away. On the other hand their sense of smell is usually very, very poor, the only exceptions I know of are Kiwis and one species of caribbean vulture.
it's amazing that even with what look like targeted hard pecks at the wallabies ears, the crows are almost surgically removing ticks from deep within the ear flaps.
@@crubs83 tick bites are so itchy afterwards though. you don't feel them until they come off. they are really disgusting pests. ive had a tick bite be itchy be itchy 2 weeks later. you have to watch them for infections to, since ticks carry some nasty diseases
I absolutely love how the crows are so polite almost. Like they take a drink of water first pretending not to just be there to bite the ticks off the wallabies. They're all like 'Hey man, hows it going? You getting some water too? Aw awesome. Oh hey man, I see you got some ticks lemme get that for you' even though all along they were literally just gonna get ticks. They're so intelligent.
I don't know if they realize this too but by dipping their beaks and water they're all so cleaning the outside surface thus doing a very low level version of sanitation between each peck.
@@jordanwhite352 1.54 the crow looks away, nothing to see here, just having a drink. Removing a tick that involves blood is going to hurt. I would like to think that the removal supercedes the pain. I love crows. We had them at university in halls and I got a job moving furniture as a summer job, big campus. One crow got to know my movements and played games with me, hiding behind trees when I moving around. I loved it.
These clips are literally therapy for me I find myself having watched these several times. These birds are helping the wallabies so much even though it annoys the crap out of them and probably makes them a little sore. It's amazing to see how nature protects itself.
Thankfully the water should help replace some blood volume! I heard that if there are enough ticks, that area can lose enough circulation that the tissue dies and that area can necrose...
@@XaviarCraig true, if we had flesh pods on our neck that came off really easily without us reacting much crows would probably be swooping down eating those shits all day
Bcs it hurts. Ticks jaw is very strong and hold the skin tightly so while pulling them off carelessly it hurts alot. Also most of them r on ears which is sensitive part so it hurts really bad.
I’m so glad these crows are helping out and they don’t even realize it , they are just eating, feeding themselves. There’s a reason for every creature on this earth and the crow has a very important role I’d say !!!!
As a biologist, I find this very interesting because: I don't think these wallabies know these birds are helping. I've spent a lot of time in Mozambique and some of the animals there know that Oxpeckers are beneficial. They don't get "Accidentally cleaned" at a watering hole. They'll walk up to a known area and stand perfectly still like they're in a car wash. The only problem with Oxpeckers is, is that they'll clean you up, then pick at the wounds to drink your blood. So they have to be conscious of when the job is done and it's time to leave. Very interesting, indeed.
Yeah I find it fanciating too. Its almost the perfect amount of assertiveness from the crow and the right amount of tolerance from the Wallaby. If this isn't natural, as you've pointed out. This is the crow manipulating its sorroundings. Really just shows the level of intelligence of the crow.
They honestly seem unphased by the crow getting the ticks until it's a tick on the ear or face where the skin is thinner and thus probably more sensitive. I'm not sure they dont understand the help, I just think they also understand the pain of the removal from the ears and face lol.
@@curtism-w6b so because certain animals do that for oxpeckers, every animal isnt allowed to show pain from removal in areas of thin skin otherwise we can clearly tell they dont think its helpful even though they are essentially unphased by removal from areas of thicker skin? If the wallabies were often acting the same by removal from different areas, I'd agree, but that doesnt appear to be the case.
@@padraigmurphy3540 interesting perspective. When you graduate college, run this by me again. Until then, everything you just said means less than your grandma telling you that not wearing a coat means you'll get the flu.
@@MichaelHayesagent I’m sure they’re aware of the ticks and know what the crows are going for, it probably just hurts. So they will react like that regardless
@@GreyvaxTV The guy who makes these videos asserts that this variety of ticks, at least, don't dig in like that. Says he picks them off no trouble. Plus, if the ticks stay, the tissue they're attached to will die and rot away anyway.
@@ling7443 Not true. It doesn't hurt that bad unless it's on a sensitive area like the face or ears. Notice how the wallaby doesn't even really react to the first two on his back being removed.
Crows are very intelligent and clever birds He didn’t actually the crow must’ve tried to find a comfy spot to feast on it or not to disturb the Kangaroo so he can get more
I love how the wallabies stick through the ticks being plucked off. Yeah, it probably hurts a lot, but I love that they seem to notice the crows are helping them with the ticks.
Exactly, and they only reacted to the Ravens pulling them off cuz the Ravens were aiming for the ears. The Wallabies didn’t mind them plucking their torso, though.
This has got to be one of the most heartwarming interactions I've ever seen between two animals. The understanding the 2 have is unspoken but both know they are helping each other.
I consider it to be a great service for the human who put this water source in place. It gives a location where the critters will go and the birds can help them and get a bit of food at the same time.
Oh my goodness they have the sweetest little faces 🥰. I feel so sorry for them, their poor little ears 💔 thank goodness for the crows! They’re such clever animals.
@@lordjaashin even without thumbs we’d still be luckier than a lot of species, and also a lot of animals have some sort of (Idk what they’re actually called) finger that would play the role as a thumb
@@StevenCS0621 no. only primates have opposable thumb. key word - opposable. having just a thumb doesn't increase the dexterity that you get by having opposable thumb
Those are gorgeous blue eyed crows. Different than the ones we have in the southern US. Extremely smart and social. I worked with an old man who could talk to them. It was amazing to watch them interact.
The ones in the US are incredibly intelligent too.. They have human face recognition, and they can multi-generationally teach other crows to trust or distrust a specific person. Just 1 example of how amazingly intelligent they are. Unfortunately, we've evolved the right anatomy and biological strengths to dominate ALL other creatures.
I'm from the southern US as well. When I was a kid one of my aunts had a crow as a pet. She taught it little tricks to do and to talk. It said all kinds of things just as clear as a parrot, it was one of the funniest things I had ever seen, I had no idea they could talk.
Deer in North America seek out Possums who remove ticks. Possums set up tick removal stations in the forest and deer show up. It's quite amazing. I guess a blood filled tick is a nutritious snack. Not something I'd order from the menu, but I'm not a Possum, nor a raven for that matter.
I love watching the behaviour between the wallabies and crows, with the crows pretending they are having a drink and then suddenly lunge for a tick. Amazing to watch, best TV ever.
I like how it clearly hurts the wallabee but they dont get hostile towards the crows. Perhapse their defensive backing away is just an instinct and they actually do realize that crows are doing them a favour?
@@NovaScotiaSunshine oh definately. When i was in the army i got myself a thick on my ear too and it Hurt surprisingly much to remove it, even though it was a small one. Thats why its So remarkable these guys dont get upset
These ones are definitely already pretty swollen up. Still I think they are bigger than our US ticks. I’ve seen a swollen one on a dog be about the size of a Lima bean when it fell off. Nothing compared to the first huge one in this video ;O
It's so funny how the crow tries to act like "nothing going on here" everytime the wallabies look up. I'm amazed at how many ticks they have & the size of them.
I used to live in Lyme, Connecticut(the town that Lyme disease was named for) and we had something like this with Possums eating the ticks off of deer...the deer would line right up for any possom they found and the possoms would gently eat the ticks right off their faces...
Possums will eat 5000 ticks a year. There was a study that found possums have few ticks because the eat them. Also they resist rabies because their body temperature is lower than other animals. But apparently they only live one to two years.
Yeah I live in a city in Ohio and you can sometimes see opossums at night here going over larger animals like a hoover. They’ll just stand there and let them do their thing.
Dang, the youtube algorithm showed me one of the parts of these uhh "series" where crows are being such bros and now Im watching them all, anyone here for the same reason?
They seem to flinch more when the raven picks the ticks on their ears and near their face which honestly is quite understandable since it’s probably more sensitive and also you probably don’t wanna risk them poking your eyes out.
No pretty sure that’s blood from the wallabies right ear where that massive tick was removed and is bleeding. The Wallaby shook his head after the crow ripped the tick off
@@flargarbason1740 I don't know exactly what kind of ticks there are but I know the sound from when the tick "breaks it's neck" as the body get's torn of.
@@christopherstein2024 all ticks have those hooks. They’re kind of like a mix of teeth and tongues hidden in their mouths (again, have fun picturing that) the snap is the sound of either the hooks detaching or the part of the tick breaking off.
@@patlynch3464 the bright side is ticks inject a natural anesthetic which reduces the pain (so they can bite through the host without the animal reacting) which means when pulled out it will hurt less. Granted it will still hurt, but not nearly as much as you’d imagine.
Haha I love how irritated the wallabies get when the Crow nicks them a little to hard they are like "HEY NOW! I said you can eat the ticks, not my whole ear!"
That seems like a really important role those crows are playing for their health. I'm not sure how common that is but man that must be a huge relief to get rid of those ticks.
Wow, in previous videos the wallabies were quite a bit scared about getting poked by a crow, now they already accept it. You can see it was still new to them as well, quite understandable after reading into the backstories of these man made water places. They were/are necessary or otherwise these animals would sadly die. Good to see these creatures can get along nicely. Interesting content, I hope everything gets better for the animals.
It never ceases to amaze me how nature takes care of itself. They symbiosis between animals is truly remarkable. Being the avian field for the past 30+yrs working "hands on" with everything from Warblers to Birds of Prey. I'm quite sure the Crows were thinking. "Just sit still man, i'm trying to help you out here"...LOL.
It’s an interesting kind of symbiotic relationship. Many that have a bird removing parasites from a larger animal are very calm interactions… but it hurts to get ticks pulled off like that (not personal experience exactly, but I had to deal with them on my dog )
Kind of like the satisfaction you get from seeing a notorious criminal get arrested. It was massive and stuck on tight so the idea of it finally being gone is amazing
I wonder if some of the wallabies have realized that the crows are helping? Some seem really standoffish, while others just sit still and let the birds pick until they hit a sensitive area.

There is more blood in the ticks than there is in the wallaby. 😲 🤢
Thankfully the water should help replace some blood volume! I heard that if there are enough ticks, that area can lose enough circulation that the tissue dies and that area can necrose...
That's an exageration, but ticks Are very nasty parasites, any animal that can get rid of them is an animal that I respect
What you wrote is sooo dumb ahhaah
Love your vids Ted! 😀🤙
You are correct. It's not so uncommon for animals to lose ears due to ticks
crows like "if ya just be still, I will have you cleaned up in 3 minutes flat!
thats crazy how intelligent they are, they exactly know these are eatable things and not something that belongs to the animal itself
They are intelligent but this is just cleaning symbiosis
I dont think the Crows care actually! I think they just see a juicy treat and are determined to get it!
@@XaviarCraig true, if we had flesh pods on our neck that came off really easily without us reacting much crows would probably be swooping down eating those shits all day
@ferret tick berry!
Crows are vampires confirmed?
I love the quiet offense in the wallaby, like they’re accepting it but they’re kinda like “dude, really”
Bcs it hurts. Ticks jaw is very strong and hold the skin tightly so while pulling them off carelessly it hurts alot.
Also most of them r on ears which is sensitive part so it hurts really bad.
It's like having a friend helping you put eye drops in your eyes. You know they are helping, but you can't stop from flinching.
Crows sometimes peck at open wounds or the eyes, plus it hurts
The wallabies behave as if they understood that what the crows are doing is desirable, but at the same time it's likely quite painful.
It’s not like the crows are being gentle about it.
Quick certainly but not gentle.
People: so serene the crow is really doing these things a favor
Crows: *G I V E ME T H A T*
big and juicy

I’m so glad these crows are helping out and they don’t even realize it , they are just eating, feeding themselves. There’s a reason for every creature on this earth and the crow has a very important role I’d say !!!!
So true! Actually, all scavenger creatures have a purpose on earth.
Also, crows being one of the most intelligent animals on Earth, I like to think they know they're helping. It's nice to see nature at work either way

i feel like my long journey to being a youtube degenerate is now complete. there is truly nothing i won't watch.
As a biologist, I find this very interesting because: I don't think these wallabies know these birds are helping. I've spent a lot of time in Mozambique and some of the animals there know that Oxpeckers are beneficial. They don't get "Accidentally cleaned" at a watering hole. They'll walk up to a known area and stand perfectly still like they're in a car wash. The only problem with Oxpeckers is, is that they'll clean you up, then pick at the wounds to drink your blood. So they have to be conscious of when the job is done and it's time to leave. Very interesting, indeed.
Yeah I find it fanciating too.
Its almost the perfect amount of assertiveness from the crow and the right amount of tolerance from the Wallaby.
If this isn't natural, as you've pointed out. This is the crow manipulating its sorroundings. Really just shows the level of intelligence of the crow.
They honestly seem unphased by the crow getting the ticks until it's a tick on the ear or face where the skin is thinner and thus probably more sensitive. I'm not sure they dont understand the help, I just think they also understand the pain of the removal from the ears and face lol.
@@padraigmurphy3540 I don't think they think it's help. Animals stand still for oxpeckers.
@@curtism-w6b so because certain animals do that for oxpeckers, every animal isnt allowed to show pain from removal in areas of thin skin otherwise we can clearly tell they dont think its helpful even though they are essentially unphased by removal from areas of thicker skin? If the wallabies were often acting the same by removal from different areas, I'd agree, but that doesnt appear to be the case.
@@padraigmurphy3540 interesting perspective. When you graduate college, run this by me again. Until then, everything you just said means less than your grandma telling you that not wearing a coat means you'll get the flu.
Accuracy, speed, and relief --- that's what these amazing crows provide!

I can practically hear the wallaby be like "ow!" and the raven responding "don't be such a baby, doesn't it feel better to be rid of them, eh?"
no cause the head of the tick stay inside if you dont pull it good... that's why you can't do that with your fingers...
Do the wallabies know this is taking place or are they there for water and just think the crows are fcking with them ?
@@MichaelHayesagent I’m sure they’re aware of the ticks and know what the crows are going for, it probably just hurts. So they will react like that regardless
@@GreyvaxTV The guy who makes these videos asserts that this variety of ticks, at least, don't dig in like that. Says he picks them off no trouble. Plus, if the ticks stay, the tissue they're attached to will die and rot away anyway.
@@GreyvaxTV the ravens take the whole thing off don't worry ^^ they don't get stuck in the wallabys skin.
The CLUNK sound when each tick is removed is soooo satisfying. Must be a huge relief to the wallabies.
Took the words right out of my mouth
I was just saying that and repeated watching the first giant one maybe 14 times lol
Actually it's painful af because the ticks are lodged under the skin. But the wallabies endure them for the benefit afterwards
It sounds like plucking fruit off a tree
@@ling7443 Not true. It doesn't hurt that bad unless it's on a sensitive area like the face or ears. Notice how the wallaby doesn't even really react to the first two on his back being removed.
Watching the crows take off the ticks is so comforting its gives me chills
1:40 Love how the crow picks it out then runs away, like the wallaby might try to get his tick back 😆
He was probably scared the wallaby would start trying to throw hands
All the wallaby knows is that it is getting pain every time a crow comes near
Crows are very intelligent and clever birds
He didn’t actually the crow must’ve tried to find a comfy spot to feast on it or not to disturb the Kangaroo so he can get more
🤣
Probably like how nurses rush to put the needle away when they’re finished drawing blood in an effort to put you at ease. 😂😂😂😂
I love how the wallabies stick through the ticks being plucked off. Yeah, it probably hurts a lot, but I love that they seem to notice the crows are helping them with the ticks.
Exactly, and they only reacted to the Ravens pulling them off cuz the Ravens were aiming for the ears. The Wallabies didn’t mind them plucking their torso, though.
@@Curtoonstv gotta give credit to the ticks too. They probably know that the ears give them a higher probability of surviving

Those are gorgeous blue eyed crows. Different than the ones we have in the southern US. Extremely smart and social. I worked with an old man who could talk to them. It was amazing to watch them interact.
The ones in the US are incredibly intelligent too.. They have human face recognition, and they can multi-generationally teach other crows to trust or distrust a specific person. Just 1 example of how amazingly intelligent they are. Unfortunately, we've evolved the right anatomy and biological strengths to dominate ALL other creatures.
What kind of crows are these? Other Crows are usually smaller but these are the size of Ravens.
@@jgunner94 yeah they kinda look like ravens to me too. But either way ravens and crows are some of the smartest animals on the planet.
I'm from the southern US as well. When I was a kid one of my aunts had a crow as a pet. She taught it little tricks to do and to talk. It said all kinds of things just as clear as a parrot, it was one of the funniest things I had ever seen, I had no idea they could talk.
Australian crows are of the largest crow species.
Deer in North America seek out Possums who remove ticks. Possums set up tick removal stations in the forest and deer show up. It's quite amazing. I guess a blood filled tick is a nutritious snack. Not something I'd order from the menu, but I'm not a Possum, nor a raven for that matter.

We got all sorts of ticks here, from tiny to huge.
Paralysis ticks
These ones are definitely already pretty swollen up. Still I think they are bigger than our US ticks. I’ve seen a swollen one on a dog be about the size of a Lima bean when it fell off. Nothing compared to the first huge one in this video ;O

Absolutely.
Right you are.

I agree
I used to live in Lyme, Connecticut(the town that Lyme disease was named for) and we had something like this with Possums eating the ticks off of deer...the deer would line right up for any possom they found and the possoms would gently eat the ticks right off their faces...
Possums will eat 5000 ticks a year. There was a study that found possums have few ticks because the eat them. Also they resist rabies because their body temperature is lower than other animals. But apparently they only live one to two years.

They seem to flinch more when the raven picks the ticks on their ears and near their face which honestly is quite understandable since it’s probably more sensitive and also you probably don’t wanna risk them poking your eyes out.
But the fact that they go right back in and allow the crows to continue shows they know what's really going on and continue on drinking.
