This symbolic relationship is mutalism. The water buffalo provides bugs for the bird to eat and the water buffalo receives a bug cleaning service from the bugs on its body.
i think it is a commensalism relation ship... the buffalo has a lot of bugs and flys and the bird eats them i guess... i have it for science homework right now... lol
The relationship between the Flicker bird and the cactus is an example of symbiosis in the desert. The bird makes it's nest in the dead crevices of the cactus and does not harm it.
A bird nesting in a tree is an example what type of symbiosis
The type of symbiotic relationship that is represented by the Bot Fly and the oropendula is a behavioral and social symbiosis.
The symbiotic relationship that they have is called commensalism. It is a type of relationship wherein one organism benefits from other with the latter not affected by it.
A Mutualistic relationship between organisms is a relationship by which both organisms benefit from the other. An example of this would be the hippopotamus and the Oxpecker (bird). The birds sit on the hippo's back, getting free food by eating parasites that bother the hippo, while the birds are protected by the hippopotamus. - Dabigb such relationship is called symbiosis. Symbiotic Symbiosis/mutualism. mutualism
They have a 'symbiotic' relationship. The egret cleans the buffalo skin of flies and parasites, and the buffalo gives the egret 'protection' from any animal that would otherwise eat the bird !
the oxpecker is a bird that rides on the buffalos back, and eats the flies and other insects off its back. its very nice of the little birdy. :)
Buffalo Bird Woman was born in 1839.
Buffalo Bird Woman died in 1932.
I don't know if there is a thing called a "tick bird" or not, but the bird that rides on a rhino, and eats parasites off of it's hide, is a part of a symbiotic relationship for sure: The bird gets food. The rhino loses annoying parasites. Both animals are in symbiosis. (mutually benefiting) The bird eats the ticks off the rhino's back and warns the rhino of any danger (mutualism). The bird also eats the blood from sores on the rhino's skin and it prevents them from healing (parasitism).
The toothpick birdA classic example of symbiosis is the relationship between the fierce African crocodile and the small blackbird plover. It is truly a case of the mouse helping the lion, the relationship between the crocodile and the plover. As it happens, the tiny bird helps the crocodile by removing tiny morsels of food from in between the crocodile's teeth. And what does the bird do with the food thus picked? Eat them, of course. This two-way symbiotic relationship has resulted in a special bond between one of the fiercest creatures and a tiny little one.
There is mutualism, parasitic, predator-prey, and competitive relationships. Mutualism- a bird eats harmful insects off of a water buffalo, bird gets food, buffalo gets rid of insects and everyone is happy Parasitic- only one of the organisms are happy, the insect on the buffalo would be a parasite Predator-prey- this one is pretty straight forward, bird is predator, insect is prey Competition- if there were two different types of birds going for the same insect
