∙ 9y agoThe honey guide bird is an opportunist! It guides a badger to where it has spotted a bees' nest, but because it can't access the honey on its own, it uses the badgers ability to claw its way there, take what it wants, and the honey guide bird reaps the leftovers. This system of cooperation is also called mutualism.

∙ 9y agoHoney badgers and honey guide birds do not live together. However, they both benefit each other. The honey guide bird leads the honey badger to bee hives. The badger then tears open the hive and eats honey and bee larvae, which it wouldn't have found without the bird. The badger leaves scattered scraps behind, which the bird eats, but it could not have accessed them without the manual labor of the badger.
