A species of bird that shares a symbiotic relationship with herd animals.
Scroll for the story ↓Our story.
A little bird. A bad ass brewery. A very good idea.
What’s in a name?
While exploring the relationship between tiny birds (Nightjar) and bison (Pile O’Bones), we learned of a species of bird (Oxpecker, B. erythrorynchus/ B. africanus). Sharing close relationship with herd animals on the savannah, Oxpeckers keep their hosts from harmful pests, &, in turn, the larger animal gives the bird safe harbour from predators.
What perfect serendipity!
So, What’s in a name? Imagine: a symbiotic relationship between our little kitchen and this bad ass brewery — what a perfect collaboration (plus, it’s also just really fun to say — tongue firmly planted in cheek).
And, just like great beer and good food go hand-in-hand, so too can a great restaurant and a stellar brewery pair up to put out the best craft in the country.
Oxpecker: We’re into it!
