what you looking at?

we all went out to featherdale animal park today and looked at lots of aussie animals, this tawny frogmouth was not looking too happy with the gale force winds or more likely he was sick of people prodding him...

some interesting facts on the tawny frogmouth...

The tawny frogmouth reaches a length of 1 to 1 1/2 feet (30 to 45 centimeters) and a weight of three to four ounces (84 to 112 grams). It has a 1 1/2-to-2-foot (45-to-60-centimeter) wingspan. The plumage of the tawny frogmouth is ash gray or tawny brown with flecks of brown and white. It has a wide, shallow bill with a hooked tip. The bill is surrounded by bristles which grow straight up from the bird's face. It was once believed these bristles helped guide insects into the bird's mouth.

The tawny frogmouth is found in almost all habitats in Australia and Tazmania. Most often, it is found in woodland and dense forests but also inhabits riverbeds in the outback and areas within the hot desert interior. The bird appears rather comfortable around humans, as it frequents golf courses, suburban parks, and gardens.
