Tawny Frog Mouth? Hard to pic in blurred pic - they do look threatening with that big beak
Raised one from a chick aswell many moons ago. Trained it to hunt for mice. Had it for a few years in the back shed - no cage once it could fend for itself. It would swoop us at night when we swam in the pool. It eventually flew off of its on accord.
Well done mate! How's the tissue bed coming along for the bird? What are you feeding him? Make sure you regurgitate your food and let the chicky pick it out of your mouth! lol.
My reels screaming zzzzzzz.... awwww damn it, its another boat!
All the best for the future fishing trips. Cheers.... Jangles
Man you must be going through a few tissue boxes at this rate! When was he found? Bloody Magpies are bullies! Is everything ok with the little bird? Looks like a mutton bird, but it can't be!

Feeding it millipedes, flies, worms, tiny bits of bread with honey and any other wriggling critter! don't need to regurgitate which is a bonus!
I must be changing the tissues every hour like a nappy, definately a messy bugger.
