Cattle Egret (Bubulcus ibis)
Cattle Egrets often associate with large mammals.
Oxpecker (Buphagus)
An Oxpecker is a small, brownish songbird native to the sub-Saharan African savannas, world-famous for its tight symbiotic relationship with large mammals.
Wattled Starlings (Creatophora cinerea)
Wattled Starlings often associate with large grazing mammals. They feed heavily on insects, especially grasshoppers and locusts, and large mammals disturb insects as they move through the grass. Sitting on a buffalo also gives the birds a convenient elevated lookout. Wattled Starlings can also forage directly around/on large mammals.
