Urutaú also known as Potoo is a nocturnal bird known for its wailing cry at the night.
The Shuar people at the Ecuadorian Amazon tell each other a history about the singing bird.
That a man was angry with his wife.
But when she tried to apologize, he fled towards the sky.
She tried to follow, but fell back to earth and transformed into a bird.
Her husband became the moon
And because she could never reach him again
The wife stays up all night crying over her lost love.
