Unusual bird and animal partnership


In the history of the wildlife world, birds and animals have often formed a strange and lasting relationship to serve them. It is just a part of these combinations.

One of these strange relationships is what wild pigs have with Robin in Europe. Wild pigs are known for their mining abilities. Many people call them "drilling machines" so many. And what they are looking for is the root vegetables they live in. They also let you eat grub and small worms they found in the ground. For many years whenever these wild pigs started digging the ground with the appearance of the wild pig, they also found out that they dig up and exposed the worm again. As a result, Robin learned to stay near these pigs as they began digging, so they can scoop up the worms that appear on the surface.

Night jars have similar relationships with wild cattle and goats. Night jars are mostly nocturnal birds and they generally eat insects such as moths and beetles almost completely. It is a great aerial hunter and skillfully takes moth out of the sky while flying. On the ground, however, it is usually hunting beetles and ants. For centuries, the Night Jazer was aware that their constant movements are stirring over the soils they are walking when wild cattle and goats are nearby. This tends to bring insects in the soil such as beetles and moths to the surface. As a result, the Night Jar learned that it is often easier to chase the flock and feed insects they dig into than to search for their own insects.

Another example is Oxpecker's bird. Oxpecker is a relative of starling. In Africa, this bird has a real cooperative relationship with many animals - Antelope, Buffalo, Sai, and even Kirin -. That relationship has to do with the fact that ticks and lice are very common in this environment. They are annoying for these big animals, as their eggs hatch on the surface of animals and become parasites by scraping their blood soon. If an animal ingests a sufficient amount of these on the skin, it can find its strength and staminal being drained slowly. Oxpecker loves these parasites. Because they contain lots of blood with lots of nutrition. They comb with the skin and hair of these big animals and consume all the ticks and lice they have found. It is a win / win for everyone.
