The Oilbird
The Oilbirds of South America nest in pitch dark caves. When they return after a night of feeding they emit a continuous stream of clicks as they fly into the cave. The echoes of the clicks enable them to find their nests. The oilbird however has very good eyesight and uses its eyes (and its remarkably developed sense of smell) to find its food - the oily fruit of palm trees.
