28 Adorable Frogmouth Chicks That Have Incredibly Expressive Faces
Frogmouth chicks have a way of stealing attention without trying. With their oversized mouths, fluffy feathers, and wide-eyed expressions, they look almost too dramatic to be real.

Frogmouths hunt mice and frogs, but they mostly eat insects. They have an interesting technique for softening their prey, which you would never expect from a creature this cute.
They sometimes beat their prey against a rock before eating it. They are cute, but don’t mess with them.
Frogmouths are, in fact, egalitarian birds. Females lay up to three white eggs, and they incubate them at night, while the male incubates the eggs during the day.

“Save Our Waterways Now” states that tawny frogmouths (indigenous to Australia, Tasmania, and New Guinea) are exceptionally social and friendly. They often snuggle up to one another, cheer each other on, and behave like any happy little family.
One of the most significant differences between frogmouths and owls is their feet. Owls use their mighty claws to catch their prey, while frogmouths have somewhat weak claws and use their beaks for hunting. However, they are not different where it counts the most, both owl and frogmouth chicks are adorable.
