Natural Habitat Shorts on Instagram: "Fun Fact: Anting is when birds (often sparrows, crows, or other songbirds) settle onto an anthill and let ants crawl through their feathers. The ants spray formic acid as a defense, which the birds use to clean and protect their plumage. Crushing the ants tends to attract more as a defense mechanism. Other birds, including parrots and seabirds, have been seen doing it too, but far less often. 🐦‍⬛🐜🧖‍♀️ #naturalhabitatshorts #naturalhab
