Found a dead Tawny Frogmouth yesterday, laying face down at the entrance to my carport. It had been raining all day and it was pretty wet. I put on some gloves and picked it up to inspect it, thought maybe my Border Collies had got to it somehow, but on a closer inspection I couldn't find any visible signs of how it died, there was no blood or cuts or anything. My mum thinks it may have been there all day since the night before, she didn't know what it was so she waited til I got home.
Just wondering if anyone knows of any common diseases or reasons this poor Tawny would just drop dead? I found one article about a nematode bacteria that develops in the brain and lungs but that was about it. It was such a shame, such a beautiful bird.
