On Walt Disney's Bambi.

Seen Magpies picking at sores on deer and elk in the winter. Don't think they like it too much.

My brother has claimed to see this once. I cant recall the type of bird. He didnt see the deer in the sagebrush until the bird he was noticing was moving. looking closer it was on the back of a deer.
