When the crow feels sick… it looks for ants

Nature is amazing and its mysteries still amaze us. The life of birds and animals sometimes gives such knowledge, which inspires us to live a healthy and balanced life. The behavior of the crow is also one such example.

When the crow feels sick or unwell, it does not go to any doctor nor does it resort to any medicine. Rather, it finds a solution in the lap of nature. It is said that when it is sick, the crow looks for ants.

He lands on the ground and sits among a swarm of ants or lets the ants walk on his wings. This scene has been seen many times in rural areas and gardens.

Why does the crow do this?

Actually, a special type of Formic Acid comes out from the body of ants. This natural chemical is capable of killing many types of bacteria and germs.

When the ants walk on the crow's body or feathers, their formic acid destroys the impurities in the crow's body and reduces its infection. This gives the crow relaxation and new energy.
