hand feeding tawny frogmouth

At Fairfield RSPCA in the wildlife ward. This tawny needed to be hand fed. they are very calm birds. we didn't use a puppet as the bird only just came in and wasn't in too bad condition, so will be released back into the wild in the next day or two, therefore no need to worry about human exposure/imprinting. and yes, its perch isn't high enough, it was the first thing we noticed when we came in the morning. an easy mistake to make, im sure the person who did it just didn't think, we swapped its perch after feeding it and cleaning its cage out.
