This bird is named for the sound is makes. It sounds like it is saying "go away".
Yellow-billed Oxpecker (Buphagus africanus)These oxpeckers are on the legs of a giraffe. They have pecked holes and the giraffe is bleeding.
Crowned Lapwing (Vanellus coronatus)This bird was guarding an egg.
D'Arnaud's Barbet (Trachyphonus darnaudii)The spotted birds are female.
Speckle-fronted Weaver (Sporopipes frontalis)These songbirds are not in my books. I am still trying to identify them.
