Red-billed Oxpecker
Buphagus erythroryncha
Least ConcernThe Red-billed Oxpecker is a African savanna bird that feeds on ticks and insects around large mammals in East African forests and savannas. It is generally resident, using local habitat year-round while shifting within its range as food and cover change. Fun fact: this batch connects several unusual songbird lineages, from cliff-nesting rockfowl to wetland donacobius and oxpeckers that forage on large mammals.
