They are night hunting birds.. They eat mice and frogs.
So interesting Christiane, There eyes are so human like!! What do they eat?
Thanks Andy Surfin-Bird Mortlock.. This family was amazing to watch!
I felt very privileged to see this lesson of hunting.. I have 4 of this beautiful birds at my farm and they help me keeping the mice under control!
Such an interesting bird! I really didn't know anything about them until I started seeing some spottings on Project Noah. So fascinating and cute!
I watched this family of Tawny Frogmouth teaching their young ones to hunt for 2 hours.. It was great!
