Next time you’re passing a wooden post in Brazil, you may need to look twice in case it suddenly flies away.
Video has captured a bird camouflaged into a wooden log near a school in Foz do Iguaçu, in the state of Paraná.
The bird is called a Common potoo- a nocturnal species that lives in the Southern Hemisphere.
Close-up footage shows the bird at full 360 degree angle, completely disguised in its timber surroundings.
A curious onlooker, believed to have taken the video, said: ‘For the second year, this bird made its nest next to a school.
‘The exotic bird draws the attention of people passing by. Now the villagers have adopted the bird and take care of it daily.’
