In Kenya, Honeyguide birds locate beehives and communicate their location to humans, who then do the hard labor of breaking into the hive and extracting the honey. Honey which they then share with the birds.

These are wild birds, not domesticated pets trained to work for human masters. These are two independent species that have figured out how to communicate with each other.

Mind. Blown.
