Most species of owls also have nocturnal habits. But they are not the only birds that prefer to spend the night in full swing. The urutau or mother-of-the-moon, for example, uses the night to look for large insects like locusts! – and, during the day, it stays very quiet, perched on the tips of trees, where its feathers, which look similar to branches and trunks, leave it camouflaged. Even so, the urutau is not foolish: its eyelid has an opening to alert it to daytime predators.
