The Tawny Frogmouth is an Australian bird that is part of the nightjar family. They are known for their large eyes, distinct “moustache” and deep resonant voice. Tawny Frogmouths can be found in many different habitats throughout Australia, from forests to urban areas. They are mostly active at night, feeding on insects, lizards and small mammals.
Tawny Frogmouths are a great example of how adaptable Australian wildlife is. Despite being persecuted by humans in the past, they have managed to thrive in many different environments.
