The Tawny Frogmouth is found throughout mainland Australia, Tasmania and southern New Guinea and it also occurs in India and across southern Asia. There are 15 species of frogmouth throughout the world.

Life Cycle. Tawny frogmouth pairs stay together until one of the pair dies. They breed from August to December. They usually use the same nest each year, and must make repairs to their loose, untidy platforms of sticks. After mating with the male, the female lays two or three eggs onto a lining of green leaves in the nest.

Both sexes incubate eggs over a 30-day cycle, with the male often sitting on the eggs during the day. The pair will then tend to their young for 25-30 days after hatching, providing food and care until they fledge.
