Tawny Frogmouths Wall Print

During Spring, if wild windy weather hits, some Tawny Frogmouth fledglings end up on the ground, due to the flimsy nests their parents build.

We always try and locate the parents and engage an arborist to climb high in the tree to reunite the chicks.

Unfortunately for these two, the parents were no-where to be seen.  So they will stay in care until they can fly, hunt flying insects and be self sufficient sub-adult Tawnys!

Ethical photography notes: Angela doesn't use flash in her bird portraiture, instead she uses continuous lighting daylight globes and natural available light. This is especially important for nocturnal birds with sensitive eyes.

Interesting fact | With their owl-like appearance, Frogmouths are often confused with owls, but are actually more closely related to the nightjars. They are nocturnal.
