Out on a Limb

I just love being a bird. I wouldn’t trade it for anything, because it’s so safe. Let’s say you’re on the ground, enjoying a nice juicy worm, and suddenly you see a cat creeping up. Boom! I’m up in the air like a bullet while Felix gets a face full of dirt. And when it’s time for a nap, you just fly to a tree branch like this one and settle down safe and sound. I’d like to see any animal mess with me up here.

    Birb looks so content. Rhino seems fine with it – why would anyone object to a nestling bird?

    Aw, birb looks so sweet.

    He’s an oxpecker. They eat ticks and stuff off the rhinos (and other animals).

      Oh no wonder the rhino looks so content and at peace.

      Seems like a fair trade to me

    When I heard tree branch, I thought that we’d see an elephant’s trunk but this is sweet, you get to see the rhino’s placid expression.

    Oxpecker and rhino, the perfect partnership.
