    The two birds on a Taxi look like Wattled Starlings.

    They are. Wattled starlings commonly perch on big animals, especially zebras. But not to eat parasites - rather they use their host as an obs. platform from which to spot grasshoppers stirred up by the host animal. Makes sense when you're too small to wade thru long grass like a cattle egret. This is such a nice photo.
