👉 The term "cankerbird" is typically used to describe a type of bird that has a distinctive yellowish-brown plumage and is commonly found in certain regions. Cankerbirds are also known for their ability to fly at night, which makes them particularly difficult to spot from the ground. They have been recorded flying over large bodies of water such as lakes and rivers, and they can be seen flying up into the air during the day when the sun is shining on them.
