Crows removing ticks - part 5
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 фев 2020
- January 2020 was not a good month for footage, and we only managed a few scraps for the entire month. Now that there has been rain, the wallabies no longer need to come to the water containers to drink, so we figure this is the last of the tick removal footage for this summer. Probably. Though never say never, I guess. Thank you for watching.
Just a recap on the "why don't we":
Q1. Why don't we brush the wallabies to get rid of the ticks? A: Because they are wild animals, not pets. They are shy and do not let us near them. It is also illegal to interfere with native wildlife in Australia
Q2. Why don't we trap/catch the wallabies to get rid of the ticks? A: Because it would kill them - following a stressful event such as being chased and captured, wallabies can suffer from rhabdomyolysis, which is the death of muscle fibres and subsequent release of toxins into the bloodstream. This can lead to serious complications such as renal (kidney) failure within 24 hours after the incident and death will occur within 2-14 days later.
Q3: Why don't we spend thousands of dollars on tranquilliser dart guns to sedate the wallabies to remove the ticks? A: Maybe if we won lotto, but it would still be illegal.
Q4. Why don't we put something in the water to kill ticks? A: At the time this footage was filmed, this was the only water source for many kilometres, and all wildlife depended on it for survival - including bees, reptiles and amphibians. Adding insecticide to the water would result in a catastrophic by-kill of unintended victims.
Q5. What's with the wood in the water? A: To provide safe access to the water for small birds, insects, reptiles and amphibians, as well as a way to get out if they fall in.
Q6. Don't the heads of the ticks stay attached and cause infection? Aren't they best left to drop off naturally? A: No, the ticks are removed whole - we often find dropped ones in the water, still complete and very much alive. We also get covered in ticks during summer, and pull them off ourselves with little care and without problems - we have never had mouthparts left behind in our skin. Infection only appears to be a problem for the wallabies when large numbers of ticks remain attached in one site, causing inflammation, circulation loss, necrosis and eventually sloughing of necrotic tissue. The older wallabies have all lost the top half of their ears to this process. Bear in mind too, that a single female tick will lay thousands of eggs, so every tick eaten = thousands of eggs not laid.
Q7. "You moron, these are crows!"/ "you idiot, these are ravens!". A: There has been terse disagreement in the comments about whether these are Australian ravens (Corvus coronoides) or Torresian crow (Corvus orru). The main difference between the two is in the throat hackles. Whatever your personal opinion in the Great Crow v's Raven Debate, please just pretend that the title supports your view and move on with your life. I'm at the stage of just removing these pointlessly acrimonious comments - people get upset about the strangest things.
Q8. You terrible people! How did you let your animals get in this state?! A: These wallabies roam over an enormous range through agricultural land and state forestry, and are as much "our animals" as the wind is "our wind". This footage was filmed during an unprecedented Positive Indian Ocean Dipole event which resulted in a ferocious drought and dried up all natural water sources in the region - some for the first time in living memory. Historically, providing artificial water points has been discouraged in Australia, as macropods are meant to be nomadic and not remain in one place to strip the vegetation. The summer of 2019/2020 marked a change in this official position however, as all of eastern Australia was in severe drought and on fire; there was no where for the wildlife to go. The Department of National Parks and Wildlife even resorted to dropping feed into National Parks by helicopter in an attempt to prevent the loss of entire populations of critically endangered species. We were carting feed and water over 100km to this site, but newcomers were arriving every day, many in horrific condition.

I knew all the answers except the last one! Omg thanks for answering that one!
They have a nice biome going on. The wallabies breed ticks, the ravens eat them .
YOU also gets covered in ticks in summer. Please let me know where you guys are so that I can make sure never to go there!
Hey man, thanks for making this footage public. Are you planing on uploading more of this? Also have you thought about introducing Magpie and Oxpeckers to your park? They are more gentle than crows and befriend the host.
@@marieslabbert6009 thank you!!
I love how the crow goes up acting like he just wants a drink of water. Then, leans over and grabs a tick. Clever birds.
Yes amazing. Crows are one of the most intelligent of the bird species. 😊
That was smart.
They know when to strike.
"YOINK"!
Then they act shocked at the same time by jumping 😂😂
Did anyone else just watch 5 parts of crows plucking ticks
Yup enjoyed every bit😂😂
I don't REMEMBER.😂😂🤣
Yeah I got goose bumps for some reason 😂
For sure did 🤣🤣. Couldnt help it
Yes!
Once the wallabies begin to remain calm, the crows can do a more thorough job, and they mutually benefit. Love this! And the more it happens, the more each species learns and develops the habit.
Crows like tick surgeons, even around the wallabies' ears!
We need more tick removing videos! I've watched these 5 videos over and over I need more.
Me too, they make my brain itch!
Hahaha I thought it was just me...couldn't get enough of it...
Ikr? It's kind of addictive
I'm addicted, I subscribed. I was just really into this. I'm glad you captured this and it's a win/win for both crows and wallabys 😁.
Me too. Are we normal??
Who else felt so satisfied each time a crow removed a tick. Nature , I love it.
I did, but I just can't explain it.
it is definitely satisfying to see those enormous engorged ticks get taken off the sweet wallaby, but there is also something about it that gives me goosebumps and makes my scalp itch???? lol I'm a weirdo.
Yes, removing those parasites is awesome and yummy for the crows!
@@cariemccart9241 i can understand that though, if in person I would get the same feeling. I don't because I know the ticks can reach me lol
Made me hungry!
Who else watched all 5?
We have problems.
I did...found it oddly interesting. Cool to see all of the different wildlife coming to the same place. Wallabies, ravens, moniter, snake, parrots. Pretty awesome!
We're watching nature, I don't see any problem...
@@NathanRW and satisfying
@@anupv63 yep, strangely satisfying.
Yeah. Me too. Ask me why. I just don’t know
This is somehow both anxiety inducing and calming at the same time.
Preston M., look at bird bath
It's amazing how the crows know the ticks aren't apart of the wallabies. Very clever birds and so was whoever put that watering hole there.
Crows will peck anything to discover if it’s food. They don’t really care if it’s part of the wallaby or not.
I love how intelligent and persistent these crows are not no mention sneaky lol just gettin a drink bro chill... yoink
Yoink!
Lmao
@Lewis H You can see in the video they are watching each others technique. In a couple of generations these plague doctors are gonna be teaching the world to eat ticks.
Yoink lmao
🤣🤣🤣
I love how the crows tries to drink water, but was actually looking at the tick! These creatures are so smart!
Hello mariè, there's no doubt about it - crows are shrewd and very clever at reading situations. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
@@GubanaNatureRefuge it really amazes me. I don't know how many times I've replayed the videos! Thank u for sharing this video as well!
Where I live the crows have learned to use the changing traffic lights to drop nuts, and crack the shells. It's quite interesting to watch. They drop them at the perfect height to crack the shell, but not damage the nut inside.
When I lived in Houston a crow tried to get in trash can with the hinged lid for mechanical arm trash trucks. It couldn’t lift the lid after trying for a brief minute and flew off. It came back with another crow (I’m assuming it was the same bird because they all look the same to me) and they lifted the lid back together. It was the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen. I tried to observe crows doing that again but was never able to recreate it.
Watch the RUclips video of the seagull that eats pigeons. While walking along side the pigeon he tracks the movement of the pigeon while looking away as if disinterested and when the pigeon looks down to drink water he pounces.
Love how they are so on alert with the crows, but then realize they actually helping and getting them free of those nasty bugs and just like "go ahead".
I keep watching this over & over I know how smart the crows are
I was thinking... Just lay down wallaby. You'll feel much better in a little while.
I love it so much more when they don’t flinch as they realize it’s helping them.
I don't know why I feel relieved when a tick is removed. Much respect to the raven I can't imagine going through life plagued by ticks and unable to remove them. We're blessed to be human.
Mmm..I'd say it's a mixed blessing. I always tell my dog and cat when I leave for work,"Oh, you're so lucky you're not human.." You know what they call pet owners in South Korea? "Butlers" !

@@waynedombrowski7568 well maybe he was pointing to the fact that we have hands with fingers and thumbs. And even then it can be hard to remove one off yourself depending on the where tone tick is on your body.
@@vholt1000 Exactly
True, but these damn wallabies r too stupid to let the crows just pick them clean
This is a "win win" situation. Both get a benefit. And, the water stations ya'll set up are life saving. So kind.
Hello Deborah, thank you for watching and taking the time to share your thoughts :)
@@GubanaNatureRefuge late, but thank YOU. It's your kindness to these animals on your property that is the kindness. Just so helpful.
deborah lariscy
It’s actually called “Mutualism” in biology, when both sides benefit, or as you explained the “win-win” situation.
@@zm5887 symbiotic relationship ?
zigarten,
If I remember correctly, Symbiosis is a more general term for the relationships of two different species and how they affect each other, whereas win-win situation is specifically called Mutualism. Like another type of Symbiosis is Parasitism, where one benefit and the other gets harmed.
Hope I’m not giving you false information, bc I’m too old to remember all of the details lol.
I love when crows jump once they get startled! And how they casually act like they are getting a drink then "SNAP!"😂😂😂
Yo, watch your speed.
I didn't even realize those bumps were giant ticks... that is frightening. Those poor cute wallabies. But it was great to see the progression of the symbiotic relationship of the crows doing the wallabies a favor by removing the ticks and the crows getting an easy meal out of it. It was amazing to see the progression of the birds make less sudden movements and becoming more precise picking out the ticks.
Whoever built that watering hole in the middle of desolate vegetation needs to get the humanitarian award. That was such an angelic thing to do.
The folk who posted put it in, it’s all explained in the description, and quite a few faq’s.
Absolutely. That water source would have saved thousands of animals lives. I'm so glad there are people around who care like that.
It was the crows. The holding the camera too.
@@angelestrada7592 ikr.. those crows set water source.. plant baby tick.. and when times come they have huge feast..
@@Jackson-pu7gd however, by doing this they encourage the normally nomadic herbivores to decimate the vegetation in that one specific region, making it inhospitable to other ecosystems.
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
I think its amazing how some seem to recognize that the crows are helping.
im sure its not long before they begin to feel relief, especially on the ears!
they react like a kid with his mother fussing over him. they seem to know it's for their own good even if they don't like it.
the elder
@@GreatBowlsAfire Oh yeah. I bet they felt the weight of the ticks on their ears
I’m assuming it’s because of the technique of the crows. Some crows peck while others are more gentle which makes sense since it’s something they learn and get better with.
Never knew they suffered so badly from ticks. That popping sound when they get pulled is so loud you can almost feel it!
Wow, that giant tick sure made a good meal for that crow, and probably a whole lotta relief for the wallaby. Yaaaaaaay Crows! Such smart little things
I'll never complain about harsh winters in eastern Canada ever again knowing those winters keep nasty parasites such as ticks at a minimum.
But then early summer canadian forests have even more bloodsuckers thanks to the swampy nature of near-arctic forests with snow melting. Here in the nordic region every summer brings ticks, deerflies, elkflies, horseflies, gadflies, mosquitoes and these tiny banana-fly sized things that suck blood and leave an itchy spot that lasts for weeks.
@@Meitti time to move
@@Meitti psh who cares we’re fine. Just don’t be stupid and pay attention to where your stepping.
@@briansheen9622 i'm moving to Antartica
no blood berries in winter :c
It’s like some of them are new to it and like “wtf get off me” and others already hip and like “can you grab the one between my shoulder blades” lol.
😅
Bruh that one with the "biggest tic of 2019" def got the memo. Dude didn't even react and it probably hurt more than the other ones, he had to have known it was a problem haha
And try not to rip my skin while you’re at it.
The crows seem to be the same way. Some do lunging grabs to catch the Wallabies off guard and others approach and remove slowly to minimize stress.
I think it might be the older ones that let the crows do their thing. They know from years of experience that the crows are actually helping. The younger ones are like wtf dude ?
I love how the crow pretends he’s come to drink but eyes up the ticks from the corner of his eye 😂
The Crows take great care around the ears and are always so precise.... glad I found this channel
"Damn bro, why is your body covered with food?"
"I got ticked off."

you can see how intelligent the crows are, the way they wait for the wallaby to calm down and then the crow moves in and nabs a tick
cant be some of the oldest animals on earth and be completely dumb.
These videos have been my guilty pleasure for 4 years now 😊
I've watched all of these at least 10 times over the past year. Something so oddly satisfying about this, lol!
They're so quick, precise and careful
Even if they're only out for a free snack, they're doing a lot of good!

Crows in Scotland pick out the eye balls of baby sheep and the farmers pay people to shoot them, youtube it
It’s cool how some of the crows learn to approach the wallabies slower to avoid scaring them.
Also seems like some wallabies may slowly figure out that the crows are doing them a favor.
@@kentvesser9484 yeah the last two were quite calm about it
Thankyou for sharing this, its fascinating to see these animals working together like this, without people like you we would never see this. Once again, thankyou for your efforts and very hard work.
I like how the crow seems to realize when it hurts the wallaby, so they try to be more careful. In my mind I could almost hear them, like, "oh, geez, sorry buddy, didn't mean to do that." And "hang on man, there's still one more. I got it." Like, it's amazing how animated crows can be. 🥰
I'm shocked at how fast and accurate the Ravens are.
Yep, Ed Reed was one of the fastest....oh, I thought you were talking about the Baltimore Ravens.
they would not have surviced as a species otherwise
Some times the ravens are really brutal when they hack into the flesh to remove the tick
Their lives depend on it
@@Jasonth131 they have to be. They know that they won't remove it otherwise.
The sound of the big tick getting picked off was so satisfying!!!
"RIPPED" off the hinges.

@@reggieglubber5420 good 1 😂😂😂😂😂😂👍
We have crows here that chase hawks and eagles. We have chickens and it’s pretty amazing how helpful they are and their determination with the hawks and eagles is impressive because they seem to literally throw themselves at a hawk. They do it more for themselves I’m sure but they have helped our chickens so much in the process. Crows are very smart birds.
These videos of crows removing ticks are *chef’s kiss* Thank you for sharing!!!
imagine being so thirsty that you just keep drinking even though two birds are ripping giant bugs out of the flesh of your ears
Blood oozing out shit
Or they actually really enjoy the sensation of those parasites being removed from their body
@@nyakwarObat the bleeding is a good thing actually. These ticks burrow down further sometimes cutting off circulation to the spot which can cause decay and death. Bleeding = circulation restored.
It's probably satisfying like getting a zit popped.

Lmfao 🤣
@Giuliano BassWarrior In my native language wallabies is called (literally) Rust Neck Kangaroos.
I don't know what it is about these videos. I can't stop watching them.
It's like when I was a kid and my sister and I peeled the wallpaper off the wall in our bedroom and pulled feathers from our pillows. It was just endlessly entertaining and satisfying.
their ears are all ripped up from having ticks ripped out every month
These are the most well-fed crows I;ve ever seen.
Right? That's a high protein diet there.
Basically eating jalapeno poppers all day long.
@Just a statistic blood sausages
Go to a dump and you will find better fed crows and ravens. Its amazing how big they get!!
Crows r like " nothing to see here, I'm just getting a drink like u my wallabe friend" then BAM one less tick, one more slightly confused wallaby.
Yeahhhhhhhhh! So funny!
you can hear the ticks being ripped out sometimes.. grateful for these beautiful birds!
crows are the ultimate bird. im convinced crows and other corvids will be one of the few bird species that make it out alive after we mess up the planet and disappear.
@@spacekitt.n we will eradicate ourselves long before we mess up the planet.
Crows are very smart birds,
Like how the crow keeps playing cool like "I'm just here to get me a drink... BAM"
🤣
Sha sha shaaa! :Dale Gribble voice
I like how they pretend that they are just drinking some water, then BAM sneak attack
Pst, wallaby, wanna see some magic?
What is it behind your ear?
Oh, look! It's a tick...!
☀️😂!
This is like the land of milk and honey for the ravens. They just need to stay at a watering place and their meals come to them. They have their food and water on a platter!
its a great life
Funny enough, it works for crocodiles too
and the wallabies also get a chance at getting rid of some weight
and what drink would you like with that.
Said the same thing.can’t stop watching 💁
Just cool seeing the wallabees getting a little relief from torment they don't know. To the crows its probably like eating M&M's.
Hello Don, it is difficult seeing wallabies covered in ticks and not being able to help them, so we were really delighted to see the crows learning this behaviour. Thank you for visiting and taking the time to share your thoughts.
Are they a treat for the crows, part of their normal diet?
Danger m&ms
@@Freedom1man crows do eat insects and ticks are pretty common insects (well, technically arachnids..) where the crows live so probably fairly normal for their diet I’d say
They know what they are from a mile away
I so appreciate the ending with the replays. My soul feels better knowing those huge parasites were eradicated from those poor suffering critters.

This reminds me of the "cleaning stations" in the underwater ocean reefs, that many species will visit on a regular basis to have parasites and debris removed. Nice to see that "the word got around"! LOL Thank you Guba na Nature Refuge for posting this!
It's very interesting to see how different species help each other out
I've seen films where in Africa their are birds that clean hippopotamus' teeth. The hippos accommodate the birds by opening their large mouths.

I love how smart animals can be. Crow approaching, acting nonchalant and pretending to be focused on the water. And the wallabies, when they realise they're actually helping them.
I was like "ooh ooh get those big ones on his back"! LOL these water stations are a great idea and seeing the animals helping each other out is amazing!

Who else is waiting for part 6 😅
I am. These videos are very satisfying to watch.
I absolutely HATE ticks. They are so disgusting and are vectors for diseases. Not only that but they attach themselves without you feeling a thing! 🤢 it’s satisfying to watch the crow rip them out of those poor wallabies bc they obviously cant get them out themselves and if they get too many they can be depleted of blood and nutrients. It hurts but I’m sure they are grateful

My wife didn't want to watch the whole thing again, but she told me to alert her for the biggest one. Satisfying!
big
For some reason. Seeing this makes me hungry, and that's concerning.
This is one of the most satisfying video series ever on the youtube. There's not enough of it on this channel. I really wish you can capture more videos like these.
There's something strangely therapeutic about watching crow picking out those massive devils. Though sometimes my head gets itchy just thinking about it aha
I def agree
Jesus Christ loves you all
and most disgusting?
I wonder what these wallabies are thinking? Some of them seem to get the memo.
There's some kind of understanding there..I notice if the raven doesn't peck overly aggressive and is precise with it's beak..so not to scare of hurt the wallabies then they just feel the relief of the ticks removal..older crows are better at this probably..and the wallabies who are to jumpy and sensitive are the one that lose most of their ears because they won't let crows and other birds pick them off.
Symbiosis between species is pretty amazing, isn't it? I'm glad the Law of the Jungle isn't all kill or be killed..
@@waynedombrowski7568 . Very rarely is symbiosis based out of caring each other. In the end these crows only care about their survival. Nothing else. And those ticks are a good way to survive
There are fast learner. And there are slow learner. 😀
@@r.a.ya.s4094 "Very rarely is symbiosis based out of caring each other. In the end these crows only care about their survival. Nothing else. And those ticks are a good way to survive"
Probably! But we don't know that/can't prove it. For it to be symbiosis, both creatures must benefit, so you can always say that the motive is purely selfish, but how do you prove it? You could argue that every single behavior is selfish, even self-sacrifice, if you wanted to. Proving it is the problem.
Watched all 5 parts and I’m starting to think in a few thousand years (maybe) they’ll grow to have a TRUE symbiotic relationships. Where the wallabies just rest up in the shade and let the crows get to work without any hassle
The reaction from the wallaby is so cute each time like you can tell he likes it but that it also isn't the most fun.
Crazy dynamic. I imagine the removal hurts but you'd think the furries would learn the crows are helping.
There were a couple of times I was thinking "Okay can I just not see the ticks that're on/in their ears at this point (video 3), or are they trying to tear little bits of their ears off for food since I know crows can be opportunistic little bastard's that probably have little to no empathy for the wallabies and are just there for food?"
Excuse me... the furries???
I think it might be a reflex. Notice how they're calm when the crows pick on their bodies but not the ears ? Also the ears must hurt more..
@@SmooshGoo There’s nothing wrong with that statement.
@@phaethos No there was an inflammation on its right ear
‘and are as much ‘our wallabies’ as the wind is ‘our wind’’, I love this perspective so much. Wish the entire world viewed animals in this way, you don’t claim total ownership when an autonomous being is involved, great videos!
"what you doin?"
"Just having a drink bro honest"
I had no idea this kind of thing took place in nature. This was absolutely incredible. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this. 💞
Shelly, it's called a , symbiotic relationship! It happens all over in nature. Maybe not in this fashion, but certainly animals use other animals for cleaning and protection! Ever see sharks swimming and there's a smaller fish on his underside? The shark protects the small fish, and he interns, cleans the shark! The wild boars in Africa to go the Meerkats for cleaning! I watch a lot of nature shows! Good day!!
The Crows are doing a huge favor..taking care of the ticks..and they look good and healthy and well fed..
Wants more? Search turtle removing rhino's tick.
theres many species of fish and birds who specialize in the parasite cleaning buisness, its really great
@@stevehamman4465 yes I'm aware of symbiosis. I've known about sharks and remoras since I was a kid. I meant in this particular fashion. I watch a lot of nature shows too 😉🥰
The symbiotic relationship between these two animals is amazing to watch. I love your videos!! Please keep posting. 😃
Hello Sarkims Life, thank you once again for your support and encouragement - it is very much appreciated.

“Mate, it’s cool. Imma fair dinkum Docta. Hold still, and I won’t nick ya’”” -Dr. Russ L. Crow
Cool ^^ but what does dinkum mean?
@@123TauruZ321 it means good
@@kentuckybruce6816 Thanks. It seems Scottish.
@@123TauruZ321 Yea Naw, Fair Dinkum is basically Aussie Slang for something that’s good.
@@MaddawgMar Yes .. i will never ever understand or use these brain numbingly stupidifying slang terms in english or american. So stupid.
Wallaby: hi raven. Nice joint here.
Raven: yep. Free appetizers for one drink.
crows
Legend has it that they are still not done drinking water.
1:25-1:28 I love that crow at the bottom walking by just chilling out haha
Hello Juan, thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. The crows are generally pretty chill all the time. There are very few predators big enough to trouble them.
Me: ok, I'm done with this kind of videos
Brain: WE NEED TO FIND MORE!
😂 😂
The monkey in us must be satisfied
Have you seen the mango worm removal videos?
It looks like it’s something the crows just learned 🤔because the wallabies are getting scared, hopefully more crows will learn this cool trick and continue to help their furry wallaby neighbors 😀
I've been watching this over and over...much respect for the ravens
Me too. I have watched it over and over.
This reminds me of the fish grooming stations that you see in the ocean. Fish swim up and different little fish pick off al the creepy crawlies and any food decay out of the mouth. It's perfect, nature when it's in harmony. Thank you for posting.
This one seems a little rougher than the fish ones
Is it normal to watch this over and over again. I never thought I would find something like this interesting.
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO. YOUR CROW REMOVING TICK VIDEOS ARE MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE VIDEOS. I'M SURE YOU PROBABLY REMEMBER ME FROM MY CRAZY COMMENTS ON YOUR OTHER CROW TICK REMOVAL VIDEOS. I HAD POSTED THAT I WAS OBSESSED WITH THOSE VIDEOS AND WAS REWATCHING THEM SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT CROW REMOVING THAT ENORMOUS TICK. I'M STILL WATCHING THOSE VIDEOS DAILY. I THINK I NEED TICK REMOVAL THERAPY. LMAO🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 THANKS AGAIN
Hello Katie, I am really grateful for your enthusiasm and support. Thank you for watching and for your encouraging comments :)
@@GubanaNatureRefuge You're so very welcome. But thank you for making these videos for us to see how life works out in the wild. It's really neat to see footage of things that we don't get to see for ourselves out in the wild. Thanks again
I thought im just alone lol🤣🤣🤣
@@MrKemasmsa You are definitely not alone😉
Katie Duke
ocd?
Can't stop watching these. I've always respected crows, but now even more so. I suspect they will soon teach other crows in the area to eat ticks. Looking forward to more videos and information
Good thing they know a tick from an eyeball.
They smart enough for that
@@solareclipse9379 It was a little joke. Let me explain, if the Raven had pecked out the eyes of the wallaby that would be bad, but instead they really do know the difference between a tick and an eyeball. Look up the word sarcasm.
They do these type of things in winter.
Scary
The water stations set up give me faith in the human race thank you.
Biggest tick: "Goodbye RUclips"
I need more of these videos. I don't know why, but they are just so satisfying! Thank you so very much for sharing them with us!!
Man this was like animal ASMR, I watched all 5 lol something about watching them pluck the huge ones off.
I have just come across these videos in my you tube feed. It is fascinating to watch. The crows are very clever and the wallabies must feel better having those awful ticks removed. Thank you.
2:10 Crow takes it perfectly, wallaby is unphased, and the crow is so shocked, he checks the ear of wallaby one more time to confirm he got the tick.
I'm addicted to these videos. Before and after is so satisfying!
Crow: hey I am doing a favor here you know don’t be giving me attitude
WOW ...Thank you for sharing! I never saw how big ticks can become ! And it's nice how smart animals are helping each other! Wild life is special! 👍
I hope you continue this! I could watch this for hours lol so satisfying.
So satisfying, these crows that are associated with “death” pretty much save lives
RUclips recommended one of these, I watched all 5. I'm not sorry. No idea why this is so satisfying to watch.
I sure hope you continue pumping out these videos! Its so satisfying to here them rip out!
Absolutely amazing to watch this unfold across the videos. Thank you for sharing
This is so great I had to watch all of them! The crows fill a niche in the ecosystem that wallabies desperately needed!
