FROGMOUTH BIRD
FROGMOUTH BIRD,
20th century, a taxidermy Frogmouth bird mounted on a naturalistic branch in a glass dome,
dome 50cm high
The Frogmouth is a very strange bird that inhabits Australia and New Guinea. With its enormous mouth and well camouflaged plumage, it is one of the world's most curious birds. Although much, much larger, it is a close relative of the British nightjar, and in many respects, appears like a gigantic version of that bird.
