SeaWorld Orlando has recently welcomed a pair of tawny frogmouth chicks. Hoover and Sawyer were hatched last month. The chicks were bred as part of a program developed between SeaWorld and the Association of Zoos and Aquariums in an effort to help increase the species numbers. Until recently the tawny frogmouth was facing extinction in North American zoos.

In the wild Frogmouths are found in the forest savannas and open woodland areas of Australia.
