Meet the red-billed oxpecker, both friend and sometimes foe of large herbivores throughout Africa. This little bird feeds almost exclusively on blood, which they get this from finding and picking ticks off large animals, like this giraffe. It's a win-win right? Not always. While this little bird helps to remove parasites, they can also get a little greedy. In order to feed, they and have been known to peck at and keep wounds on animals open for longer. 📸 Suvania #wild #wilderness #wildlife #wil
