Damn Disney not every movie needs to have a live action remake. Leave The Rescuers Down Under alone.

This is kind of like the beginning of Ratatouille but this version has a different audience rating

Are all those black dots ticks?

I doubt that birds have ticks because of the feathers. I may be wrong. Maybe seeds that stick like velcro?

Edit. Birds can have ticks! https://theworldsrarestbirds.com/do-birds-get-ticks/

Yet, these black dots seems to be on the fearhers and not under near the skin.
