The bird of your nightmares....

I had to snopes check this when I saw it, but it's real - and it's the UGLIEST thing I've seen in a long time. Nightmares are made of this...this is one UGLY bird!!! Don't look if you want to sleep tonight...

Poor ting! He looks like he just needs cuddling and reassurance!

It's adorable! I want one! I must admit that the picture of the bird with unequal pupils concerns me...often a sign of brain injury. I have a dog that is in the "So ugly she's cute category" Maybe they could share.......

Here's another pic...

I just did a general search for Potoo bird. I think it's cute   

Looks a lot like a Whippoorwill  ?

my Mum just sent me this little video and I thought I recognised it as the bird you posted a picture of islandgal99. 5 min long. just an extroadinary bird, nerves of steel and what a devoted parent.

Aww, that bird is so darn cute, not scary or ugly. I agree with Sue, It looks like it needs a hug

Ok...it does look cute except when it's mouth is wide open or when you see the buggly odd ball yellow eyes. The video was pretty cool. But those initial pics...yikes!

I totally laughed!!!
