Tawny Frogmouth Enamel Pin

Tawny Frogmouths are nocturnal birds which are native and wide spread throughout Australia. The can be found in almost any environment with large barked trees. Commonly mistaken for owls, Frogmouths are in their own family and are differentiated from owls by their large wide forward pointed beaks and their lack of powerful legs and talons. Their preferred prey are insects in which they use their expert camouflage skills to lay in wait before snatching them up with their strong frog like beak. they are also known to prey upon lizards and small vermin. 

Fun Fact: Tawny Frogmouths can be incredibly difficult to spot! The brown and grey coloring on these frogmouths along side their mottled patterning makes for the perfect camouflage against bark and foliage. They will often pose themselves to look like a branch when threatened by elongating their body and stretching out their beak while closing their eyes.
