Tawny Frogmouths have to be my favourite Australian native birds.
They spend their days perched on eucalypts trying to look like dead
branches - and very effectively too.

These two had been injured and are being rehabilitated at a wildlife park.

I reckon when God was making all the animals he took a look at a lot  
of them and thought, 'jeez I shouldn't have had that second glass of  
communion wine at breakfast. Still, it's good enough for Australia.  
What d'ya reckon, Sheila? I mean, Mary?'.



Whaddya mean?  Frogmouths are beautiful! I'm glad He (or She) sent  
them our way.

Quoting Ken Waller :


Nice capture. Reminds me of the smaller owls I've seen.

Approximately how big are they?

Are they both mature ?



Thanks for the comment, Ken.

A mature frogmouth is about barn owl size - the larger one in the  
photo is mature; the smaller one about half grown - not sure if the  
two birds are related.


Frogmouths are much like owls in habit - they're nocturnal, fly  
silently and prey on insects etc.
