Kookaburra laugh

Three Kookaburra's on the one branch was a thing to good to miss. I hope you enjoy this one as I did.

Kookaburra's don’t laugh because they see something funny, they laugh to mark their territory. They are also the largest member of the kingfisher family in the world. Another addition to the "Going Native" collection of aussie fauna.

Kookaburras are terrestrial tree kingfishers of the genus Dacelo native to Australia and New Guinea, which grow to between 28–42 cm (11–17 in) in length. The loud distinctive call of the laughing kookaburra is widely used as a stock sound effect in situations that involve an Australian bush setting. They are found in habitats ranging from humid forest to arid savanna, as well as in suburban areas with tall trees or near running water. Even though they belong to the larger group known as "kingfishers", kookaburras are not closely associated with water.
