#DidYouKnow:#Birds engage in a fascinating behavior called #Anting, where they rub insects, especially ants, on their feathers and skin.

The insects secrete chemicals like formic acid, which possess insecticidal, miticidal, fungicidal, or bactericidal properties, providing potential benefits for the birds' health and plumage maintenance.
