Description
The Laughing Kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae) is an iconic Australia bird. They are cloaked in white and brown plumage and have a strong, prominent beak. Kookaburras are perhaps best known for their raucous laughing call; once heard, never forgotten.
Kookaburras are meat eaters and will perch still on branches or stumps waiting for an unwary mouse, lizard or snake to appear before swooping on their prey.

Thanks, Nicholas. I have never seen a kookaburra....and only know of it from a song we used to sing as kids. It's a pretty little bird.
Nicholas Blackwell replied:
Thanks Terri. I suspect it's the same song we also sang. I hope you have the chance to see one and even better to hear one someday. Regards Nicholas Blackwell.
