The Ox-Pecker.

These starlings not only rid the
animals they frequent of ticks and
other vermin, but they often peck at
sores on oxen and donkeys until they
form cavities, which measure some
times two inches or more in diameter,
and as much in depth; they actually
do eat the flesh and drink the blood
of these animals. Oxen submit quite
placidly to this process of being eaten
alive and seem none the worse for it
afterward, but donkeys show the OBJ
jections by trying to rid themselves
