Australia's iconic kingfisher.. the Laughing Kookaburra. Saw & heard lots but never close enough for that killer photo. A bit surprised to find them in the dense, wet forest of Dandenong Ranges as I thought they preferred drier, more open country #BirdingAustralia #kookaburras #kingfishers

A kookaburra sitting on a wire. The bird is looking to the right of the frame, with the sun at its back. It looks a bit windy as the bird's feathers are a bit ruffled. The background is blue sky.

Apparently, there's more than one song about a kookaburra A viral story of a sausage-loving kookaburra too fat to fly resurfaced online. The tale even inspired Hazmat Modine's 2019 song _Too Fat To Fly_. The Internet is huge. I've been farting around on it as my full-time job for over 15 years and there's tons of stuff I miss. β€” Read the rest The post Apparently, there's more than one song about a kookaburra appeared first on Boing Boing.

A kookaburra sits on the corner of a Hills Hoist clothesline. A wooden clothed peg is on one of the outer lines. In the background is an unidentified tree and a wooden property fence. Grass and the base of trees from across the road can also be seen at the top of the frame.

I don't take many photos of birds, so this kookaburra sitting on a backyard clothesline is making a reappearance for #BirdOfTheDay #notabranch

#kookaburras are the largest #kingfishers in the world, growing up to 47cm long and weighing around 300g. A true #Aussie icon, they are infamous for their laughing cackle, mocking you from afar.

Australia has the most adorable bird πŸ˜„πŸ₯°

Google identified them as Laughing Kookaburras (Dacelo novaeguineae).

They're known for their iconic "laughing" call, which is a territorial sound used at dawn and dusk, earning them the nickname "bushman's alarm clock".

🌏 Blue-winged kookaburra (Dacelo leachii)

The blue-winged kookaburra is a large, stocky kingfisher with a white head streaked brown, and lacking the prominent dark mask of it's larger relative, the laughing kookaburra. Its back is dull brown, wings are striking blue, and the underside is a creamy-white, finely barred with brown streaks. Found in northern Australia and southern New Guinea, it inhabits open savanna woodlands and swamps. Typically found in family groups of up to 12 individuals, they perch conspicuously, hunting insects, reptiles, and small mammals with a cackling, squawking call. 2.5 Flash (Edited)

Four subspecies are generally recognised.

Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)

A kookaburra sits on a branch of a pine tree. The tree and bird are in silhouette. The tree takes up most of the frame, and the kookaburra is not necessarily in plain sight.

Find the kookaburra.
The Easter long weekend is over, so the rain has now set in and it's a grey old day.

Kookaburra on a clothes line in Leura. Some noise is pleasant to the ear.

This is from my archives as those that were around earlier today preferred to be heard but not seen.

🌏 Laughing kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae), sub-adult

The laughing kookaburra is a large kingfisher native to Australia, and is famous for its distinctive, loud, and somewhat eerie laughing call. These birds are typically brown and white with a large head and a heavy bill. They are commonly found in open woodlands, forests, and suburban areas throughout Australia. Kookaburras are territorial and often seen perched on branches or fences, scanning the ground for prey such as insects, reptiles, and small mammals.

Thought I would share another photo of these wonderful Aussie Kookaburras. They would often visit in groups in the late afternoon and sit on our clothesline. They never seemed to mind that I would get up close to take a photo.
