Description
Australia's tawny frogmouths are unique in every possible way. When it’s not mistaken for an owl, the Tawny Frogmouth can easily be confused with a tree branch! With narrowed eyelids and a stretched neck, this bark-coloured bird is a master of camouflage.
Their genus name, Podargus, is from the Greek work for gout. Unlike owls they don't have curved talons on their feet; their feet are small, and they’re said to walk like a gout-ridden man! Their species name, strigoides, means owl-like.
Tawny Frogmouths mate for life.
This Tawny frogmouth lives in Sydney Wildlife Darling Harbour.
