denUsually when I'm told I have to pick up a baby tawney frogmouth, they look like this:
They're not really babies, they're just juveniles. Today I was asked to pick up a baby frogmouth, and when I saw her I shouted "It's a baby!" Everyone in the vet's waiting room looked at me. "It's a baby!" I said again. Instead of the usual golden eyes she has little black beads, and a MOUTH.
IT'S A BABY FROGMOUTH!

It's not a tribble with wings; it would probably *eat* those:D.

Date: 8 Feb 2005 22:32 (UTC)They've got a pair of (adult) tawny frogmouths at the LA Zoo who have lived there for many years. Or maybe it's a succession of them - how long do they live, anyway? Of course during zoo operating hours, what you see is two untidy piles of grey feathers perched on a branch.
Vicky was running an Aussie character in one of the online Hogwarts rpgs, so hers had a tawny frogmouth instead of an owl. Reactions varied between "what?" and "COOL!" depending on the players' origins. :)

Date: 26 Feb 2005 01:23 (UTC)There are some advantages to cool rainy weather - I dropped by the zoo yesterday and one of the snowy leopards was out prowling around the enclosure instead of curled up behind a rock in their usual daytime style. There was a toucan a few enclosures away sounding off like mad, and the cat was obviously trying to figure out how to get past the wire and get at the noisy neighbor (though whether it wanted to eat it or just get it to shut UP was a good question.)
