  • ... that the call of the Satanic nightjar has been likened to it pulling out a person's eye? Source top of p. 22
  • ALT1 ... that the call of the Satanic nightjar has been likened to a person having his eye pulled out?

  • This article is a five-fold expansion and is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline and I have added ALT1, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. For Halloween? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:04, 21 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Firstly, the hook is not accurate because the source says it's like the sound of the bird "taking someone's eye out", not the sound of the person having his eye pulled out. Secondly, the article says this may be a misattributed bird call, and I can't see any reason why we should run a hook that may be erroneous, so I think a new hook will be required.

What does it visually look like?

[edit]

Aren't there any pics, photos, or drawings of the bird that could be used?
