Tawny Frogmouth: Watch baby bird grow

Watch this little bird grow at the St. Louis Zoo.



Click here to see more still photos from the moment she hatched through one month of growth. The video is on the website too in case you can't see the one above. She looks like an owl but isn't. Read more about this species from the Australian mainland, Tasmania and southern New Guinea here.

I love the St. Louis Zoo!
Their huge bird cage is from the 1904 World's Fair!
