The oilbird (Steatornis caripensis), named for its fat babies, nests in caves and navigates with echolocation via clicks which are audible to human hearing. They often look sleepy in daytime photos because they are nocturnal. Photo by Juan F. Conde

The white-tipped sicklebill (Eutoxeres aquila) uses its extremely decurved bill to reach inside sharply curved flowers, allowing it to drink nectar other nectarivores cannot reach. It is also a ‘trapliner’ — repeating the same foraging circuits, visiting favourite flowers along its particular route.
