This crow has allowed itself to be covered in ants
Birds engage in a fascinating behavior called anting, where they rub insects, especially ants, on their feathers and skin. This can be done actively by picking up insects and applying them to their body or passively by lying in an area with abundant insects and performing dust-bathing-like movements. 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.

11 years ago today I was brought back to life from an overdose. This date carries just as much significance as my 11 years of sobriety date (March 18) because without the intervention at the supervised consumption site I wouldn't be sober, I'd be dead. Since that day my life has changed and here are some accomplishments I am proud of...
•Completed treatment
•Got my IDs/bank account back
•Got employment at a treatment centre
•Got married
•Became a father of 3
•Paid off every debt
•Bought a house
•Career change to a health authority
•Became a published writer
•Did two TEDx Talks
•Started speaking in schools
•Became an International Public Speaker
Not too shabby for a guy who people said would never get out of the back alley in the DTES. Never, and I mean NEVER, give up on someone and whatever you do, don't give up on yourself. You are worth it! #inspirational 💪🏼💪🏼
Ugh! The entire world is using cellphones! How are our kids going to learn to navigate how cell phones can help or harm! Teach the kids how to protect themselves! Teach the kids how to use the cellphone for good!
WATCH: BC United says if it’s elected in the next provincial election, it will ban cellphone use in all K to 12 classrooms. It says evidence shows the devices are causing kids to learn less and perform worse. Monika Gul has the story. https://t.co/mr3dmP3QIE
To the lady who stopped on Christmas Day 11 years ago while I slept in this doorway (across from the West Hotel at Pender & Carrall in the DTES) to give me a Tims coffee, a hug, and 50 bucks … please reach out if you remember me!
I want to THANK YOU. You gave me hope in a very dark time. Today I’m coming up on 11 years of sobriety. I have never forgotten you, and I do my best to pay it forward ⏩
This year I’m able to give three people those same things you gave to me.
Merry Christmas to you and to everyone — especially people who don't have much today. Remember, if you see someone who’s homeless it doesn't take much to be kind. #MerryChristmas 🎄🎄 #KindnessMatters
