Look at the photo with the bird sleeping: one moth drinking his tears and three mosquitoes trying to suck his blood.
Nature is metal.
Not to mention the fact that birds apparently cry in their sleep!
They don't. All animals with lacrimal glands cry in response to irritation or physical contact of the eye though. These tears are known as "reflex tears."
thanks for clearing that up I was also confused at first like OP but kinda convinced myself of what you said
It's pretty brave of moths to do this since they are naturally preyed upon by birds. Maybe birds don't mind this activity. Perhaps there's some benefit to the birds too?
