2017.06.23.5989 Birds on Giraffe

            Tickbirds — red-billed oxpeckers by my expert, or, as I call them, the "Marty Feldmans of the Bird World" — do giraffes a big favor by delousing them. The problem is that they often hang on after their meal of parasites to enjoy an after-dinner drink of giraffe's blood.  ©2017 John M. Hudson
