Black Drongos commonly ride the backs of larger ungulates as perches for hawking insects. Not only is this a moving perch, but the animals themselves disturb grasshoppers and the larger insects that the drongos sally out to capture. This bird was observed riding the backs of various spotted deer at Ranthambore National Park, Rajasthan, India
