They come out at night, emerging from their caves to fly into the dark rainforest. Their colonies can number in the hundreds or even the thousands. And the weird, raspy sounds they make have earned them names that translate to ‘one who laments’ and ‘little devil.’ 

Oilbirds, or guácharos, as they’re known locally, live on the island of Trinidad and are endemic to seven South American countries: Guyana, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil. They’re found in mountain forests and the lowlands that surround them, because these environments provide them with the two key things they need: caves to roost in and fruit to eat.
