Hello everyone, I'm the cook who was delayed by the parrot. In the last issue, I talked to you about the golden myna in foreign bird markets, in the country, there are tens of thousands of them, and no one buys 8 pieces of local land, and many bird friends ask Papua New Guinea if there are other parrots? Want to see foreign small animals, some time ago some people sold parrots, and some people sold starlings. Today there is a local indigenous person who took a bird over, the specific breed is not clear, looking like an owl, anyway I have not seen, may be a local unique breed, the size is not large, the color gray look strange fun, feel a little afraid of people, do not know whether you can raise it, asked the price is not expensive on 20 yuan, everyone said whether to buy?
<h1>An extremely interesting bird: the brown toad-mouthed bird</h1>
I asked some local Chinese and checked the information to learn that this is an owl-like bird belonging to a nighthawk of the Podargidae family. Its plumage is brownish gray and black , its head is wide , its mouth is whiskered next to its mouth , and its mouth is open like a toad , hence the name toad mouth.
The brown toad plover is mainly distributed in Australia, Papua New Papua New Guinea and Tasmania, so in our Papua New Guinea bird market can be encountered, this bird is also rarely sold by local natives, may be relatively rare, most of them are selling large eagles, owls, parrots These are large, good-looking, intelligent and talking birds.
The brown toad mouth bird in the hand, at first glance looks like a piece of bark, I don't say it is a bird, how many people know? According to the locals, this bird, like the owl, mainly forages at night, and rests motionless in the tree during the day, which is very common to people.
When the local natives showed me the bird and asked if I wanted it, I thought it was an owl, and when I looked closely at the owl with a pair of toad beaks, it was a "fake" at first glance. The natives said that this is good to raise everything to eat, usually feed some insects, meat, fruits can be fed, I took it in my hand and began to call, anyway, not good, not as good as sunflower parrots. When I wanted not to buy it, the friend next to me said that he wanted to get it back and play, if you would buy it?
