Esta ave no la conocía me parecio un tipo de buho o lechuza pequeña, luchemos por el maravilloso mundo de la naturaleza al que cada día estamos atacando mas y más. Un saludo
I can't imagine a Frogmouth feeling terribly confined, as they mostly just sit in trees and wait for an insect to show up on the ground below. And then drop on it. That said, I'm glad it will eventually be released.
Because bird has been found very young just side of the road and taken to sanctuary to grow up.
I thought it was a type of owl but i see its not. Very interesting :)
Missing location. Did you upload this through mobile or web?
