The Tawny Frogmouth feeds on rodents, insects, frogs and other small animals. They are nocturnal and spend the day roosting on dead logs or tree branches. Tawny Frogmouths are monogamous, and pairs stay together until one of them dies. They breed from August to December, usually using the same nest each year, repairing the untidy platforms of sticks. After mating, the female lays two or three eggs. Both parents take turns sitting on the eggs and feeding the chicks. About 25 days after hatching, the chicks are ready to leave the nest and lead their own lives.

Although many people think that they are owls, there are many differences. They have different feet that owls use to hunt, while Frogmouths use their beaks. Their choice of prey is also different, with owls hunting larger animals like rats. Frogmouths usually sit and wait for food to come to them, whereas owls hunt while flying.
