well... not this little guy.
Tawny Frogmouth Fluff
He's a Tawny Frogmouth, which are related to owls. Yeah, i know, right.
They are adorable little puff balls that would make your Russian step-uncle named Gordon, whimper and beg for a snuggle. If only you could imagine the sound made by this little confused looking squeekie-toy.
They are not yappy or annoying like those psyco ones you are all imagining right now just because I said it. Yes you are. But these little guys are more like stoned hotdogs with squeekers in them.
They look like this because their ancestors genome has a mutation which has encoded them with one extra special quantity of shnuggily wuggily mootsy mooper, whosh shooow cute?
They seem a little bit helpless, which makes them such good entertainment - they inherited this trait from the current Liberal Government. Dickheads. So, where was I? Ah yes - they will looked dazed and confused most of the time.
but mostly just little beauties
They love a good feed
and a good sit
and a good derp
they are one of us
And they are watching you...
ok, not really. But they love to watch you!
And yes... they are amused. Slightly. Well Done Imgur.

They are NOT related to owls. Frogmouths belong to the Order Caprimulgiformes, Owls to Strigiformes. More closely related to hummingbirds

Upvoted for potshots at the govt. (For those unaware: in Australia, our conservative party is known as the Liberal Party. Because reasons.)
Hahandfuckyou
Conservatives used to be liberals, and liberals used to be conservatives. America doesn't really get that. I blame Lincoln. For no reason.
CindyWho4
That's good to know. I cracked up at the comment, but as an American, I don't usually see a lot of conservatives posting/commenting.
twinkledouche
did you also gib your babel the vaxeems for biggies smallpox as a spooky doctum to give it the autismus
imshibagel
So Australia is not just upside down but also backwards from US?
pencilv3ster
Potshots?
kokopellifacetattoo
It means taking an opportunity to shit on someone when it's not the main topic, guess I'm not at all surprised if that's just a USA thing
pencilv3ster
I'm USA just not too cultured lol. Come to think of it, I have heard that expression before. Thanks for clarifying.

What's the liberal party called? From my understanding both parties are pretty liberal compared to American standards.

These days though they have changed front man from Tony dumdum to the guy who is paying 80% the price of a full fibre network for a lump of
noobule
The Labor party is the major centre-left party, though they're really centre-right by our standards these days.
walterpeck
"Liberal" in Brit/Aussie parlance refers to classical liberalism, which is closer to American conservatism, hence the name.

But does religion play a big part there in the conservative party like it does here in America? Or is it just about economics?
blargant
Religion isn't as big a deal here as it is in the US, but the Liberal party is certainly more actively Christian than Labor.
blargant
There are also One Nation and Rise Up Australia, our resident fuckwit fundamentalist fringe parties.

Beats me! I'm 'murican actually.
