Australian Frog Mouth Owl interacting with humans in the Featherdale Wildlife Park in Doonside, Australia (near Blacktown) about 45 minutes from Sydney.
@AussieBloke108 Kinda isnt an owl at all. It does however fill a very similar niche in the ecosystem and has therefore evolved with similar characteristics to an owl but it is no more related to an owl than it is to a penguin. It is a type of nightjar.
This is a Frogmouth and not an owl at all. Frogmouths are unrelated to owls, they are related to nightjars. They do hunt nocternally and eat small creatures like frogs and lizzards. They remain docile during the day in order to remain hidden from predators..Please do not insult it by calling it an owl.
@HarryAardvark Yeah true, just had a look, I claimed it to be an owl just because of it's physical features.
But after finding it's just a bird, I can agree, still one of my favorite animals because who could resist one.

@DeafFret I was obviously kidding. You can continue to destroy fur coats and masturbate to national geographic. I won't hurt any birdies, I promise.
