Standard-winged Nightjar adalah burung malam dari sabana Afrika yang sulit terlihat karena warnanya menyerupai tanah. Keunikannya terletak pada pejantan yang punya dua bulu panjang di setiap sayap saat musim kawin. Bulu ini berfungsi sebagai daya tarik visual untuk memikat betina melalui tarian terbang khas. Menariknya, bulu ini akan rontok setelah musim kawin selesai. #Faktamenarik #faktaunik #burungmalam #standardnwingednightjar | Yogi Febrianto

The Billionaires Life inc. on Instagram: "The Standard-Winged Nightjar, found in parts of sub-Saharan Africa, is known for the extraordinary feathers. the males grow during breeding season — two absurdly long, streamer-like plumes that extend far beyond its body.
