Egyptian Nightjar

Nightjars are nocturnal birds of modest size that may be found almost anywhere. They're known as "goatsuckers" because of a popular urban legend that they take goat milk. (They don't; they merely consume the insects that goats attract.) Because they build their nests on the ground, they are easy prey, which is why they must hide. Nightjars camouflage skills are due to their intelligence and strategic thinking, rather than any species-specific coloration. Each bird has its own distinct appearance, and it selects its nesting place depending on what would best complement its unique markings. This will assure their own and their offspring's survival.

Two possibilities for how nightjars gain this capacity were presented in research released in 2017. The first is that they are conscious of their physical appearance. Alternatively, the birds may have learned which backdrops are most efficient for camouflaging themselves through time and have stuck with them.
