I've seen house sparrows,magpies and a green woodpecker behave in this manner. It's believed the Formica acid from the ants kill parasites that are in the feathers.

Do they ever sleep? At this time of year they're on the lawn at sunrise and still hunting worms past 10pm.
When I was about seven an infants school essay I did on The Birds In My Garden got put on display at parents' evening. "BLACKBIRDS," I wrote. "My mum does not like blackbirds because they sh1t all over her sheets." As my mother commented when she returned home: "I was so bloody embarrassed. people must think I swear all the soddin' time." |
