It actually says spur-winged? Elsewhere on Wikipedia it mentions Egyptian plover as the proper bird, such as in that bird's article, also in List of symbiotic relationships and Crocodile bird redirects to it. The article for Spur-winged lapwing says: "The famed "crocodile bird" is sometimes taken to be this species, but it is actually the true plover Pluvianus aegyptius." Do both birds (allegedly) do this? 68.156.95.34 ( talk) 03:50, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
I propose that the image of the needlefish is removed. Because of the background, it is not clear what is going on. Even with the image expanded, it is still not very clear. I don't think the article gains anything with this image, nor would it lose anything if it is deleted. DrChrissy (talk) 14:27, 27 April 2016 (UTC)

As the name suggests, oxpecker birds are not a good example, because they are more commonly parasites/micropredators which open wounds in the animals and drink their blood. Accordingly, a different image should be used. Robert ( talk) 19:25, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
