Where there are buffalo, there are oxpeckers. They enjoy a symbiotic relationship. The cape buffalo has a dedicated bug zapper and the red-billed oxpecker has a lunch buffet. This one was taken in the Masai Mara of Kenya on my January 2020 trip. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 310mm) ISO 400, f/4 at 1/640th of a second.
So, if this symbiotic relationship isn’t working for the Buffalo what would be the best way for it to break up with its Oxpecker and get back out on the market? I’m just asking for a friend, who is a Buffalo.

Strange bedfellows, but lovely!
