•  Info Oxpeckers, as their name suggests, live off ticks and other insects that are attracted to large mammals. It isn't a completely loving relationship however, as the birds do keep wounds open and eat the flesh and blood of their hosts. All by Charlesjsharp -- Charles (talk) 19:57, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

•  Support - Excellent. It looks like they're perched on a zebra. Should the category for zebras be added? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:03, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

• Yes Ikan, the clue is in the file name!! :) Charles (talk) 22:01, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

• LOL, talk about ignoring the obvious! But should the zebra's category be added? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:40, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

•  Support Head of rear bird is a little unsharp but so what when the pose is so great. What I want to know, though, is what did the one bird do to piss the other one off so much? Daniel Case (talk) 18:15, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

• I think you mean ticked off! Charles (talk) 19:12, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

A US-UK English difference, no doubt. Daniel Case (talk) 01:48, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

•  Question Is the colour of the zebra really pink-black? --Llez (talk) 06:52, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

• No, that was the morning light. I have corrected it as white-black looks better. Thanks. Charles (talk) 11:26, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

•  Support Great capture now that the pink zebra has been corrected. Are pink zebras some sort of version of pink elephants? ;) --cart-Talk 11:48, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

Yes, pink is very important for Senegalese wildlife. I didn't mention it, but some experts believe that these birds are searching the skies for flying pigs. Charles (talk) 14:25, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
