Western Cattle Egret - Bubulcus ibis
Héron garde-boeufs
They spend the day in wet pastures. They feed on insects that are raised by the cows. Sometimes, they sit on the back of cows, looking for ticks and flies. Ils passent la journée dans les pâturages humides. Ils se nourrissent des insectes soulevés par les sabots des vaches. Parfois, ils se posent sur le dos du bétail pour chercher des tiques et des mouches.
