Tawney Frogmouth

Usually 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!
