Birds in Black and White

Scratch Ahh!

Sometimes funny though, birds do scratch their bodies a lot. Mostly it is because of many ectoparasites. They also clean their bodies by either taking mud bath or preening their feathers. Picture below show two species, 1. Great Egret, and 2. Black-headed Ibis scratching their head.
