    These birds are like revenue inspectors. Even if there's nothing wrong with you, they will still examine every inch just in case)

    If they can't find insects they are happy to peck until you bleed and drink your blood.

      i don't think they peck you specifically for blood, but rather they will peck an already existing wound making it worse.

    They can also feed off of ear wax, so no wonder it went for the earhole.

      Yeah? You should see what they do to hippos during the dry season. They open old wounds and eat the flesh.

    • @twstf8905
      @twstf8905 3 ปีที่แล้ว +26

      That's true, "@@sebathadah1559"!! 👍
      They're known for having quite a taste for blood! Keeping wounds open longer and inhibiting the animal's natural healing process at the same time increasing the likelihood of infection.
      If they happen to draw blood, this guy could potentially get SWARMED lol that'll teach him though, right?! 🤣👍

    • @ChristianMiersch

    I had a Brown headed cowbird for many years and he would do the same things as these Oxpeckers are doing here. He was much smaller and it still would hurt sometimes. The worst was when he found a scrape or small cut and would keep picking at it to get it to bleed and consume the blood. I wouldn't be so keen to let these ones do the same to me. This guy is lucky he didn't let them come close to his eyes. My cowbird almost blinded me in one eye.

    I have had pet birds in the past. And they used to preen my hair all the time! So, I love what these Oxpeckers are doing to this Man’s hair! It is like the birds are saying “Okay, Human! Time for a preen!” And, Ziiip!
