I'm looking after a fledgling tawny frogmouth until he's strong and old enough to be released.
The people I got him from (who finally realized he needed proper care)
had hand-raised him a for a few weeks after he had fallen from his nest,
so he's quite social and affectionate.
Hopefully we can get him nice and strong and in a few months he'll be
ready to take flight and make his own way in the world. Well, in the
nature reserve next to our house anyway.

I love frogmouths. Well, from afar there are none where I live. :) What kind of sounds this cutie make?
only seen them in books or on tv, there are very neat looking :)
good luck to the little guy :)
Wow, another little feathered friend. I love the tawnies. We have them too - they can be quite often seen sitting on our gate at night.
Oh you are so lucky, what a wonderful experience looking after one of these babies! How's Blue?
