Produktbeschreibung
A Cape buffalo named Billiam sheds a glaring light on blood-grubbing, potentially deadly ticks, and recommends attracting the peerless Red-billed Oxpeckers to call your very own. They like yodeling, square dancing, guarding like no buffalo's business, and tackling despicable parasites. In a vampirish-like shepherding class by themselves, forming crucial symbiotic bonds in the bush, these unmistakably vital birds, once nearly lost due to arsenic, were rightfully returned to their mammals after priceless decades in captivity. They mate for life and, except for hatching their grossly unrivaled eggs in nests distinctly lined with mammal hair, they spend their entire lives clinging to receptive mammals, searching for flies, lice, worms, and other ghastly stuff that they eat, preferably hideous ticks, the fantastic Red-bills' favorite food. And even if you aren't bedeviled with a foul tick situation, these awe-inspiring birds are still worth their weight in mud. They keep a good eye out for lions, tigers, and crocodiles and dogmatically hiss to guide their beloved mammals into calmer waters.

Autorenporträt
Jo Delle Stanley is the Indie author and illustrator of The Fantastic Red-bills Got My Back. After 12 years of researching everything from dance to music to bring these fascinating creatures and their environments to life, this marks Jo's first book. Initially, she had no plans to illustrate the story, but her family inspired her to create the artwork. In the end, Jo discovered a love for digital art and found making the pictures as fun-if not more fun-than inventing dialogue for a Cape Buffalo sailor from the 19th century. Jo is passionate about animals, and reading, and treasures the phonics sprinkled throughout the English language. She likes listening to "Linus and Lucy" by the Vince Guaraldi Trio, Caesar salad, and her four calling birds and three French hens-she actually has five Silver Laced Wyandotte chickens.Currently, Jo is working on her next illustrated book, which focuses on species that are no longer facing extinction. She has three amazing children, two wonderful grandbabies. Jo lives in Central Ohio with her husband and two dogs named Noodle and Duke.
