Biting lice belong to the group of recto-parasites, which are parasites that live outside the bird. These flightless insects affect the feathered areas of their host and feed on the feathers. There are several different varieties of biting lice that all have their own preference in bird species. All bird lice have nearly the same lifestyle, which is the reason for them being summarized in this chapter.
