History

The kookaburra is a bird species unique to Australia and New Guinea, best known for its distinctive laughing call that echoes through the bush. These birds are part of the kingfisher family and are notable for their territorial behavior. Kookaburras primarily eat small animals such as lizards, snakes, and insects, waiting patiently from branches before striking with precision.
