Q: Why are all those
little birds on you?
Q: How did you get

A: We get our name from
called oxpeckers. They eat
ticks and bugs crawling

Q: What’s with your ears?
A: While our eyesight is poor, we have excellent
hearing! Our ears can move independent of
each other. When one is tilted forward, the other
can be directed backward. Or both may perk
straight up when we hear an interesting sound.
