- INTERESTING FACTS
- LAUGHING KOOKABURRA (Dacelo novaeguineae)
- The Laughing Kookaburra is one of Australia’s best known native birds & is the largest member of the Kingfisher family.
- Naturally occurring in the eastern states of Australia & introduced to Western Australia in the late 1800’s, the Laughing Kookaburra is famous for it’s distinctive rollicking laugh.
- Living up to 20 years, Kookaburras are hunters & will inhabit open forests & also suburban areas, looking for snakes, lizards, rodents & insects.
- A very family orientated species, Kookaburras live in tight groups & will work as a team to protect their bush territory from other birds. It is quite common to see a large number of these birds sitting together on a tree branch enjoying the afternoon sun.
- With an off-white coloured head & body, dark lined eyes, brown back with sky blue markings & a tail striped with brown, black & white; the Laughing Kookaburra is a subtly coloured bird that can be undetectable when nesting in the hollow of a tree.
- Breeding from September to January, the Kookaburra will remain with the same mate for the entirety of it’s life.
