The Tawny Frogmouth is a nocturnal bird native to Australia and New Guinea. It belongs to the family Podargidae and is known for its unique appearance, resembling an owl. These birds have wide, flat heads, large eyes, and mottled brown and gray plumage that provides excellent camouflage against tree bark. Tawny Frogmouths primarily feed on insects, small mammals, and reptiles. They are skilled hunters, using their exceptional night vision to spot prey. Unlike many other birds, they do not build traditional nests; instead, they lay their eggs directly on tree branches, relying on their camouflage to protect their young from predators.
