Potoos (family Nyctibiidae) are a group of birds related to the nightjars and frogmouths. They are sometimes called poor-me-ones, after their haunting calls. The family Nyctibiidae was formerly included with the nightjars in the order Caprimulgiformes but is now placed in a separate order, Nyctibiiformes. There are seven species in two genera in tropical Central and South America. Fossil evidence indicates that they also inhabited Europe during the Paleogene. Potoos are nocturnal insectivores that lack the bristles around the mouth found in the true nightjars. They hunt from a perch like a shrike or flycatcher. During the day they perch upright on tree stumps, camouflaged to look like part of the stump. The single spotted egg is laid directly on the top of a stump. In Argentina and Bolivia, they are known as kakuy or cacuy - from Quechua meaning 'to remain'. In Brazil, they are called urutau - from Guaraní guyra 'bird' and tau 'ghost'.

Here in Brazil they are called Urutau = ghost bird or Mãe da Lua = mother of the moon. Legend says that the bird is actually the daughter of a tribe chieftain who was exiled because of a forbidden love. In the jungle she cried every night in search of her love. A witch saw her suffering and turned her into the bird so that in her singing she could still cry.

@raccoonchild Жыл бұрын

Here in Brazil, this bird is called Urutau, or mãe-da-lua (moon's mother). It's referred as a cursed bird, ghost bird and death bird. A popular story says that this bird fell in love with the sun, and cries (common potoo's melancholic call) in the night because its lover is gone

Ironically, in Indonesian language, "owl" = "burung hantu", that literally means ghost bird.

Owls are silent flyers so that's why it's called that i think
