#tawny frogmouth

[bertilakslady]

I once stared for a full 5 minutes at a gum tree on which (so I thought) 2 Tawny Frogmouths were sitting. After about 8 minutes, I realised there were actually 3. Oh wait, another 2 minutes revealed a 4th one. Their camouflage is insane. Also, one time in a wildlife sanctuary I got to hold one, and they are just the sweetest, softest creatures. And love scritches.

Hi hello I just need everyone to look at this picture of a baby Tawny Frogmouth

What screams, cries, laughs, and looks like a muppet? That’s right, it’s the Tawny Frogmouth (Podargus strigoides). Its vocalizations range from deep grunts to loud hisses and have been likened to a crying baby! Found in Australia, this nocturnal bird is a sit-and-wait predator—meaning that it waits for dinner to deliver itself. As a result, it can spend hours at a time remaining perfectly still. When motionless, its mottled plumage resembles the bark of a tree. But as prey approaches, this bird strikes, descending on nearly silent wings.

Fakemon evo chain based on Tawny Frogmouths.

(I forgot to note on Skreaper, in Hidden Form, only the nose feathers move. In Found Form, the “cloak” billows.)

" Tawny frogmouths are remarkable birds. They don't rely on fancy plumage or elaborate dances to find love ❤️ Instead, they emit a low-pitched vocalisation as you can see here, that's music to their potential mate's ears! "
