  • Daily Life and Adaptations
    4 Daily life and adaptations Tawny frogmouth behaviour still poses many questions. This and the following chapters are by no means exhaustive but they provide a window into the night and day life of tawny frogmouths. Much is intriguing and unusual about tawny frogmouths. Lifespan and interventions It is not known how long tawny frogmouths actually live in the wild. Banding records of a small sample of 107 recovered birds showed that the oldest was 165 months or 13.75 years of age.1 Some zoo records might have information on lifespan in captivity but this raises further questions. Captivity can have seriously detrimental effects on lifespan (shortening it) or, at times, may prolong life well beyond normal life expectancy in the wild, making the two sets of data not easily comparable. The data on captive tawny frogmouths, as sparse as they are, certainly suggest a potential for a very long lifespan, if one thinks of the recent report from London Zoo of having to euthanase a tawny frogmouth at the age of 32 years. And then there is the individual adult male rescued in 1994 in New South Wales that is still alive in 2017 at the time of writing the revised copy of this book. Getting accurate records of optimal lifespan in the wild is not easy for any species. Many birds die well before they reach reproductive age and even those who survive on their own into adulthood can meet with misadventure, especially in modern society with its many civilisation risks.

  • Bahama Parrot Seeksoutcavities Inlargehollow Trees
    BAHAMA PARROT SCIENTIFIC NAME Amazona leucocephala bahamensis DESCRIPTION The Bahama parrot is a subspecies of the Cuban Amazon parrot. The Bahama Parrot's sci en tifi c name literally means "white head ed Am a zon parrot from The Bahamas." Its white head and mostly green body make the Bahama par rot easily recognized. It has patch es of red feath ers on its cheek, throat and some times its ab do men. Its fl ight feathers, usually hidden from sight when it is perched in a tree, are a beautiful cobalt blue. Viewers are often struck by this un ex pect ed fl ash of colour. The Bahama parrot's short rounded bill is char ac ter is tic of all true par rots. The bill is a powerful multi-purpose tool used for eat ing, climb ing, de fend ing, preen ing (groom ing) and playing. The Bahama parrot has two toes facing forwards and two facing backwards - a confi guration known as zygodactylus. The Bahama parrot is 12-13 inches in length. DIET Endangered Species of The Bahamas A variety of fruits from many shrubs are eaten by the Bahama Parrot. They feed on wild guava, poisonwood berries, pigeonberry, and the fruit from gumbo limbo and pond-top palm. Es pe cial ly during the breeding season, Bahama parrots in Abaco eat the seed from the pine trees. This provides a rich source of protein, essential for the development of Bahama parrot chicks. REPRODUCTION Pair formation begins in early spring. Bahama Parrots are monogamous - they mate for life.

  • Tawny Frogmouth (Podargus Strigoides)
    Bush B Volume 1 u d d i e s Tawny Frogmouth (Podargus strigoides) When it’s not mistaken for an owl, the Tawny Frogmouth can easily be confused with a tree branch! With narrowed eyelids and a stretched neck, this bark-coloured bird is a master of camouflage. Tawny Frogmouths are between 34cm (females) and 53cm (males) long and can weigh up to 680g. Their plumage is mottled grey, white, black and rufous – the feather patterns help them mimic dead tree branches. Their feathers are soft, like those of owls, allowing for stealthy, silent flight. They have stocky heads with big yellow eyes. Stiff bristles surround their beak; these ‘whiskers’ may help detect the movement of flying insects, and/or protect their faces from the bites or stings of distressed prey (this is not known for certain). Their beak is large and wide, hence the name frogmouth. Their genus name, Podargus, is from the Greek work for gout. Why? Unlike owls they don’t have curved talons on their feet; in fact, their feet are small, and they’re said to walk like a gout-ridden man! Their species name, strigoides, means owl-like. They’re nocturnal and carnivorous, but Tawny Frogmouths aren’t owls – they’re more closely related to Nightjars. There are two other species of frogmouth in Australia – the Papuan Frogmouth (Podargus papuensis) lives in the Cape York Peninsula, and the Marbled Frogmouth (P. ocellatus) is found in two well-separated races: one in tropical rainforests in northern Cape York and the A Tawny Frogmouth disguised against the bark of a tree at Naree in NSW.
