Well, most anyway, as we zoom down to see Kichaa tossing dirt all over himself but constantly coughs due to some getting into his beak.

Kichaa: whoo! It's a hot one!

The oxpecker simply sighs as he falls flat on his back and proceeds to make a snow angle in the dirt. Eventually he hears voices and looks up to see a pair of oxepeckers arguing on the dead end of a nearby Cape buffalo

Oxepecker 1: it wasn't uneven a bug! Your blind!

Oxpecker 2: it was right there!

Oxpecker 1: I would know if it's a bug or not!

Oxpecker 2: you wouldn't know a bug even if it but you in the-

The two then look to see a tick and proceed to tussle over who would have it first. Eventually the two overhear Tembo passing by yelling to Amani

Tembo: mom! Kichaa! Look, I did it! I did it look!

The two overhear and look to see Tembo, or particular the bugs all over his hack, the top of his ears and his forehead. It was a smorgasbord with legs and their beaks salivated on all the menu options on the back of that young elephant.

Tembo then makes it up to Amani who notices him

Tembo: mom look you won't believe it! Look how many friends I got!

Amani; ohoh, I knew you could do it!

Tembo: it's like forty eight! I broke my record mom!

Kichaa: nice work little bro!

Tembo: first, I crawl into this cave,

As he speaks, the oxpeckers look to one another and both agree on having the walking smorgasbord. Oxpecker 1 spits out the tick who at this point was dried out and they both make a being straight toward Tembo, but that didn't go out of the watchful eye of kichaa who spots the oxpeckers

Tembo: oh, but then I broke my stick, that was bad. But juju reached me a better one. Oh! I gotta show butu!

Tembo then sprints off to the plains and just before the oxpeckers could reach tembo's back and feast on all the insects on his back, kichaa leaps right in front of them and they crash right into them. They all land to the ground with oxpecker 2 wrapped in kichaa's arm and oxpecker 1 right below him

Oxpecker 2: well if it isn't everyone's favorite elephant

Oxpecker 1: (breathes) you mean adopted elephant

Oxpecker 2: actually I really meant bird-

Kichaa proceeds to choke hold him.

Kichaa: I'm gonna assume you meant to say "brother", as in brother to that little walking ball of cuteness over there

He then points to Tembo running in the distance

Kichaa: the next time you parasites see that tiny bundle of bliss, your gonna fly right on by. Ya got it?
