The all-black eyes of this bird have scared many people at first sight.

The owner of the photos said that this strange bird was discovered on the outskirts of a town in Venezuela. Although the appearance is not much different from other birds, this bird possesses a pair of scary black eyes.

The vast majority of opinions believe that, with such a round head and wide beak, this must be a potoo bird, a bird closely related to the mosquito owl family. However, the potoo’s eyes have prominent yellow irises and black pupils, which are quite different from the haunting eyes of the bird in the photo. Therefore, there have also been opinions, this may just be a potoo bird effigy set up by someone to attract attention only.

However, far from the impression of the shy potoo bird that we have ever known, this alien bird makes many people feel scared when they see it.
