Anting
Scientists are looking for the reasons behind an interesting phenomenon that many birds engage in anting. According to the passage, the purposes seem to be assisting their skin to feel better, defending against parasites, and getting their food ready, but none of them are the truth of anting.
To first challenge the first theory, the lecture disputes the claim of the passage that anting makes birds feel better and more comfortable when they are losing old feathers and growing new feathers. Birds can find more ants in summer because they come out more. So anting more in summer and changing feathers in the summer must a coincidence or a fluke.
The lecture also proves that the passage is baseless to claim that anting can help to defend against parasites. These birds that do anting should have fewer parasites, however, according to recent research, the birds that are engaged in anting and those that don’t have the same amount of parasites on their body.
After challenging the first two theories, the lecture begins to deal with the last one. The passage believes anting can help them to get food ready by making the ants spray their acids, while the lecture states birds also use other objects other than anting to rub on their feather too, like cigarettes and soap, but these things are not for eating.
In short, the theories mentioned in the passage must not be the reasons birds enjoy anting.
