Telekapuldid

Telekapuldid, also known as telekapuldi or telekapuldiid, is a genus of small to medium-sized birds belonging to the family Caprimulgidae, which includes nightjars and related species. The genus is native to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, with a few species extending their range into East Asia and the Middle East. Telekapuldid are characterized by their long, pointed wings, short tails, and a distinctive call that is often described as a series of short, sharp notes.

The genus includes several species, each with its own unique features and distribution. For example, the Indian Nightjar (Caprimulgus indicus) is found in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, while the Jerdon's Nightjar (Caprimulgus jerdoni) is endemic to the Western Ghats of India. The genus is known for its nocturnal behavior, with most species being active during the night and resting during the day.

Telekapuldid play an important role in their ecosystems as insectivores, helping to control insect populations. However, they are also vulnerable to habitat loss and fragmentation, which can impact their populations. Conservation efforts are underway to protect these birds and their habitats, including the establishment of protected areas and the implementation of sustainable land-use practices.
