Notável por sua associação com grandes mamíferos pastadores, como bovinos e búfalos, dos quais se alimenta de insetos perturbados pelo movimento. Durante a estação reprodutiva, desenvolve plumagem laranja-dourada na cabeça, peito e dorso. Expandiu sua distribuição globalmente no século XX, tornando-se uma das aves de ocorrência mais ampla do mundo.
