Goatsuckers is a term commonly used to describe a group of nocturnal birds in the Caprimulgidae family. However, this term can be seen as derogatory and offensive in some contexts. To avoid using the term goatsuckers, bird enthusiasts and researchers have adopted alternatives such as nightjars, nighthawks, and whip-poor-wills. These birds have unique characteristics such as silent flight, large eyes, and long wings that aid in their night hunting activities. Nightjars, nighthawks, and whip-poor-wills can be found in different parts of the world and have their peculiarities. Using appropriate and respectful terms when referring to these birds is essential.
