Description

In the field of entomology, there is a fascinating phenomenon known as "anting." Anting is a behaviour observed in birds, particularly crows and jays, where they pick up ants and allow them to crawl over their feathers. Some birds have been observed to crush the ants and rub them into their plumage. It is believed that this behaviour is a way for birds to use the formic acid produced by the ants as a means of removing parasites from their feathers, or possibly to create an insect-repelling substance.
