Watch how this pair of Olive Woodpeckers with chicks in the nesting cavity guard their nest against the brood parasite, the Scaly-throated Honeyguide and the Southern Grey-headed Sparrows that are always in search of nesting cavities that they can use for their breeding. They are not able to excavate their own nests like barbets and woodpeckers do, so they use other bird's nesting cavities. • #birds #birdsofyoutube #birdsofsouthafrica #broodparasites • Instagram: / lynetterudman • Bird Calls (Xeno Canto): https://xeno-canto.org/contributor/SG... • Blog: https://lynetteinnature.wordpress.com/ • Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/lynetter...
