Have you? It's interesting how people gravitate to certain animals to help.

Never heard of the Tawny Frogmouth so thanks for posting the video. There are some similarities to
owls and I did a little research (they are related).
It would be hard to find them in trees (amazing camouflage).

They look like those Furbies of a few decades ago.

I've heard of them, seen photos; but never seen one in the wild. Thanks for reminding me of them NK.

The Nighthawk is a similar bird in the US. They also have large mouths for capturing insects.

Yeah, and Common Potoos (and relatives) of South America.
