What screams, cries, laughs, and looks like a muppet? That’s right, it’s the Tawny Frogmouth (Podargus strigoides). Its vocalizations range from deep grunts to loud hisses and have been likened to a crying baby! Found in Australia, this nocturnal bird is a sit-and-wait predator—meaning that it waits for dinner to deliver itself. As a result, it can spend hours at a time remaining perfectly still. When motionless, its mottled plumage resembles the bark of a tree. But as prey approaches, this bird strikes, descending on nearly silent wings.

Fakemon evo chain based on Tawny Frogmouths.
(I forgot to note on Skreaper, in Hidden Form, only the nose feathers move. In Found Form, the “cloak” billows.)

Remember to read about the contestants before voting!
Black Capped Chickadee
Another common backyard bird, the Black Capped Chickadee actually has a hierarchy in the winter similar to what we thought the wolf had. They basically have a “pecking” order (pun intended), where some individuals’ foraging and behaviors will differ depending on where they are in the hierarchy. They are very brazen with humans, flying up to and eating straight from people’s hands. Learn More!
Tawny Frogmouth
Often mistaken with owls, the Tawny Frogmouth are not closely related to owls! They have large mouths, that they use to catch insects late at night. During the day, they morph their body to look similar to a branch, even swaying in the wind sometimes to mimic a branch. Learn More!
