When a crow feels sick… it visits an anthill.
Sounds strange? It’s actually one of nature’s most fascinating healing rituals.
When a crow senses it’s unwell, it will intentionally find an anthill, spread its wings wide, and remain completely still—waiting for the ants to crawl into its feathers.
Why?
Because ants release formic acid—a natural antiseptic that kills bacteria, fungi, and parasites hiding in the bird’s feathers.
This behavior is called “anting”, and it’s been observed not just in crows, but in many bird species.
No medicine.
No vet.
Just pure instinct and nature’s built-in pharmacy.
A brilliant reminder that the natural world is full of intelligent, self-healing systems…
We just need to stop and notice. -

We just need to stop and notice.Let me introduce you to doTerra… Now, you can purchase a starter kit of essential oils for $95, but for $375, you can become a doTerra Wellness Advisor. Have your friends and family host parties to set them and their friends onto the homeopath of natural wellness, and you will receive a commission in addition to discounts on your own orders. And should any of them decide they would like to become wellness advisors, then you will earn a portion of their revenue as part of a pyramid of wellness!

We call that ‘kink shaming’.

@Mik I was thinking the same. Nature is pretty good about timing things when they are ready.
