Hand Raising Tawny Frog Mouth Chicks!!

These are 3 Tawny Frog Mouth Chicks we had in care in 2007, the single chick in start of video was blown out of nest in strong winds as a fluffy white chick, and the other 2 were removed from power pole where they were being attacked by crows and other predators
all chicks were fed a diet of a offal/beef mince with insectivore mix mixed into it, and a pinkie mouse a day....that increased as they grew,
All 3 chicks were released back to their natural habitat and away from the city...we would have had about 12 in care over the 2007 period..ALL were released...so we seem to have big success with these beauty's....you will see some of the adult ones in my other videos!!

Could you use woodies dusted in a supplement and a pinky mouse rather than your mix?

'slike a little feather ball... cute. And that was a very kind thing to do for them.

[KMelKang]

What a wonderous thing you are doing for our feathered critters.  I do rehome critters when they are in need of a home as well.
