Tawny Frogmouth Description Tawny Frogmouths are medium-sized, bulky birds with a large broad head and a relatively short tail.

There is a common misconception that Tawny Frogmouths are owls. This is not true! While both are nocturnal, owls hunt by grasping prey in their strong talons. Tawny Frogmouths catch their prey using t

After The Guardian poll named the Tawny Frogmouth Australia’s 2025 Bird of the Year, we’re proud to introduce our own nocturnal stars. At Adelaide Zoo we house four Tawny Frogmouths, three are 19 years old, and one is 10. Frodo, the male in our Australian Rainforest aviary, is a favourite among visitors. He sits motionless, perfectly camouflaged, often mistaken for a branch. Though many assume Tawny Frogmouths are owls, they’re actually closer relatives to the nightjar family. One of their coole
