G'day All
Laurie that sounds like a parent and two young. The parents get them
out of the nest tree at a fairly early age and from then on the young
give a "whispery: begging call almost continuously. Unfortunately
cats pick up on these calls and target the young birds. I have
chased cats out of the tree the young were in in the middle of the
night. then had one of the young disappear the only night I was not
there in 11 nights to chase the cats away!.
Cheers & Happy frogmouth watching
Mike Tarburton
I observed 3 frogmouths in suburbia last night. One flew onto the
phone line and was quickly joined 2 others. They behaved a bit like a
trio of Noisy Miners messing about and made unusual whispery calls.
Perhaps they were a family group.
Regards, Laurie.
