Night Birds

What knowledge do you possess regarding nocturnal birds? They are truly                          (WONDER) creatures. Certain birds, like the poorwill, engage in nighttime hunting to exploit the reduced                          (COMPETE) for prey. The barn owl possesses impeccable adaptations for hunting during the night. Its eyes are exceptionally large and sensitive to even the faintest illumination.

The feathery fringes of the owl's plumage muffle the sound of its wing beats, enabling it to swoop                          (SILENT) upon its quarry.

The kakapo stands out as a parrot that is                          (ACT) at night. All other parrots are diurnal birds that reside in and around trees. Throughout the day, the kakapo slumbers, emerging at night to forage for fruits, berries, and leaves. The kakapo's habitat is exclusively limited to New Zealand.

Similar to bats, the oilbird employs echolocation to navigate through darkness. While in flight, it emits clicking sounds that bounce off objects in the South American caves it inhabits, aiding the bird in orientation.                          (LIKE) most birds, the kiwi possesses a keen sense of smell, facilitating nocturnal food detection.
