The Oilbird, Also Known As The Guácharo, Is A Member Of The Nightjar Family Found In Northern Portions
the oilbird, also known as the guácharo, is a member of the nightjar family found in northern portions of south america. they are named for the unfortunate fact that previously, chicks were boiled down to create oil. oilbirds are unique in that they are the only nocturnal, flighted fruit-eating bird (the kākāpō is fruit eating and nocturnal, but flightless). they are skilled in flight, with tiny feet useless for anything other than clinging to vertical surfaces. they are one of the only birds capable of echolocation.
