end0skeletal:The vampire finch lives on the most remote island of the Galapagos, Wolf Island. With a diet that consists primarily of seeds and insects, vampire finches turn to blood drinking in the dry months of the year when fresh water is hard to find. The finches peck at the skin near the tail feathers of other birds, chiefly blue-footed boobies, until blood is drawn to drink. Strangely, the boobies rarely seem to notice or be disturbed by the finches’ behavior. (x x x x) -- source link
