[Sally Ings]

Those eyes are amazing and really pop. He has interesting markings

[Desi]

Fascinating. Does this bird feast on rats & mice & snakes and other similar sized prey?

[LManning (Laura)]

So impressive! The markings are fantastic.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

@seacreature they would eat mice, but their favourite foods are large insects (like our big stick insects) and frogs and yet they like fruit as well.

[Desi]
