Oxpeckers comb the hair of animals to get the mytes of the animal and feed in this process.
The use of chemicals were harmful to them and they became extinct in certain areas where cattle were dipped. The chemical companies developed oxpecker friendly dips and the birss is slowly coming back.
The other day a farmer complained that the oxpeckers are bloodthirsty as they peck at a calf untill they draw blood and then they carry on an on.
