In my country and neighbor countries there are actually several myths regarding this bird and that specific call, that usually tell the story of a kid looking for their mother or a lover crying for their other half.
Ahh when you said the Aye Aye idky bit I was thinking of a book( my son&I just finished reading Septimus Heap Physik)in it there's a creature called the Aei Aei 😮I thought suddenly surely NOT! For in the aforementioned story this creature is similar to a rat but has super sharp long claws&a tail as long as a snake with many pointed teeth&a singularly exlarge point (fang?)at the front top of mouth for infected people. 🤷♀️🤦♀️😂
Haha yeah, it's like when you stare at someone for a long time and realize they're actually quite cute. And find out that they had a massive unrequited crush on you years ago, and you never noticed how beautiful they were until now. But now it's too late. Because they're married with three kids. Oh god why. Anyway, cute bird!

@TitaniumTurbine There were foxes near my old house and sometimes you could hear them screaming. It sounded like someone being murdered. At least I hope it was the foxes.
@@TitaniumTurbine Oh haaael no lol foxes sound like small children being churned into butter, and goats sound like when you scare your parents on accident just grabbing some water at night 😆
In South America we call them urutau. Their feathers really mimic perfectly tree trunks and branches, so they avoid predators when asleep during the day...
The fun fact is, looking scary and wierd is its defensive adaptation. During day they pretend to be branches and stubs, but if they are noticed, they try to stare, with enormous red mouth wide open!
The native indigenous Brazilian people have a beautiful tale about this bird, here we call it Urutau... It's called "The Great Story of The Urutau", it's about a princess that wasn't the prettiest in the village but she had the kindest of hearts and a prince who was a vain young man, who fell in love for eachother because they'd encounter only at night, so they didn't actually know how eachother looked in daylight... But once the moon was too bright and the prince didn't think she was the prettiest in the village, so he left her for the one who was the prettiest but vain like him... And the princess was so heartbroken that cried so much one night that the moon felt sorry for the moon's mistake, wanted to make emends to the girl somehow... So it gave her one wish, and she wished to be a night bird that nobody could see but that everyone could hear her sad cry from a long distance, so then it was, and she flew along following her prince everywhere without him ever knowing it... (Ps. It's very summarized, you should read the original, it's pretty, it was my favourite bedtime tale as a child...) ❤🇧🇷
Was gonna say... just the shape alone (minus feathers) kind of reminds me of a lizard 🦎 The Horned Lizard, also called horny toad, lives in TX, OK, KS & NM USA 🇺🇸 & are real adorable. They R harmless, can't run fast, waddle when they run & have become very scarce over the past at least 2 -3 decades. They think the coyotes are the main predator but also a pack of red ants will kill them too. Look them up, they're super adorable.!! ❤ Plz don't take them or the babies home thinking U can make them pets. They die in captivity quickly 😢😢
😎👍A very cool and very interesting looking bird indeed looks just like a living Muppet, I think a pair of those would make very interesting pets indeed!,👌.
I had the chance to see it, they are so confident in their disguise that you can be very close and sometimes touch them and they'll not move..... they are incredible birds....
@@beartackle it won't yell, but hiss and open that mouth WIDE to make you brick your pants. It's the only self defense it has is creeping out predators.
Down here in Argentina we call it kakuy and the Indigenous people have an interesting legend about them: There are two indigenous orphan siblings, the brother, Kako, and the sister, whose name we don't know. Kako was laborious and dedicated to the raising of his sister, he loved her so much and he wanted the best for her, but she mocked him and made bad and heavy pranks to him. Once, Kako came back from hunting, tired, and asked his sister to prepare some water with honey for him to drink, and she did so but, in the moment she gave him the water, she spill it all over him. Tired of his sister's pranks and feeling sad and humiliated, Kako let a few days go and told her to go to the jungle to play a game. Once there, he made her climb a tree and, once she was in the top, he cut the tree's branches off, leaving her in the top, no way to go down. Desperate, the sister started shouting: "Kako, uy!!", meaning "Kako, I'm in trouble". The shout got louder everytime and her throat got hurt, at the end she could barely emit hoarse sounds. By the time, the spirit of the jungle looked at her with piety and transformed her into a bird for her to escape the tree, and her desperate shout little by little turned out to be one of the most singular birdcalls all around the continent. And that is how kakuy came to this world.
Other version says Kako wasn't actually his name, but a Quechua word for "stay" and that what she shouted was actually "turay", which in Quechua stands for "my brother", some say she even said both at the time, so: *"my brother, stay!"*
Brilliant fable! So, did she finally learn her lesson to treat her brother and all beings with kindness? Did she seek revenge? I wonder how her camouflage ties into her newly found personality.
@@ricksantana1016 thank you so much for appreciating it bro! Not really MY culture tho' as this fable is from the North of the country, my grandpa from the Santiago del Estero province told me it, I'm from the province of Buenos Aires, where we are "whiter" with European surnames.
@@ValCronin gotta say the truth, my grandpa never told me the that, guess Indigenous didn't have a finale for the story, and when it comes to morals and finales, everyone's got their version here. Anyways, most people from Santiago say that she's learnt it, since her birdcall is rather a cry, a lamentation, she's sad and repentant of messing her relation with her turay up. However, thanks for the question, in June I'm heading to my grandparent's province and I might ask him
In Brazil they're called Urutau, and also Mãe da Lua (Mother of the Moon). Some people believe they're bad luck. IMO, they're beautiful and seeing one is great luck! They stay so imobile, that most people and even animals just can't notice them, even in daylight.
How can the Potoo look like a wholesome cutie and a gruff-ass veteran at the same time? C'mon, you cannot tell me that hunched look doesn't exude that vibe, you cannot.

Down here in Argentina we call it kakuy and the Indigenous people have an interesting legend about them:
There are two indigenous orphan siblings, the brother, Kako, and the sister, whose name we don't know. Kako was laborious and dedicated to the raising of his sister, he loved her so much and he wanted the best for her, but she mocked him and made bad and heavy pranks to him.
Once, Kako came back from hunting, tired, and asked his sister to prepare some water with honey for him to drink, and she did so but, in the moment she gave him the water, she spill it all over him.
Tired of his sister's pranks and feeling sad and humiliated, Kako let a few days go and told her to go to the jungle to play a game.
Once there, he made her climb a tree and, once she was in the top, he cut the tree's branches off, leaving her in the top, no way to go down.
Desperate, the sister started shouting: "Kako, uy!!", meaning "Kako, I'm in trouble". The shout got louder everytime and her throat got hurt, at the end she could barely emit hoarse sounds. By the time, the spirit of the jungle looked at her with piety and transformed her into a bird for her to escape the tree, and her desperate shout little by little turned out to be one of the most singular birdcalls all around the continent.
And that is how kakuy came to this world.
Other version says Kako wasn't actually his name, but a Quechua word for "stay" and that what she shouted was actually "turay", which in Quechua stands for "my brother", some say she even said both at the time, so: *"my brother, stay!"*
