Red-billed Oxpecker
(Buphagus erythrorhynchus)
This painting is approximately life size, and shows three Red-billed
Oxpeckers, a species found mostly in central and eastern Africa. They are
closely realsted to the rather similar Yellow-billed Oxpecker (B.
africanus), and between them comprise a family thought to be most closely
related to the starlings and mynahs, and sometimes considered to be a
subfamily within the larger starling family.
Oxpeckers frequently crawl around on large mammals, both wild species and
livestock, looking for ticks, flies, lice, mites, and hair and blood
(probably from within the bodies of parasites consumed, although apparently
they will take some blood from an open wound).
