The Kookaburras' brown and white feathers help it blend in with the environment, which makes it more difficult for prey or predators (hawks/cats/owls/foxes) to see them.
The male is easily distinguished from the female by the blue hues on his wing feathers and darker blue on his tail feathers. The female has a small bit of blue on her wing feathers, but no blue on her tail feathers.
Fun Fact: The call of the kookaburra is commonly used in movies to imitate the sound of monkeys in a jungle.
Kookaburras bond for life and young chicks are cared for by all members of the family. They live at home for the first four years of their life (they can live up to 20 years) and during this time they take care of and provide food for any younger nestlings.
Kookaburras aren't that fussy when it comes to food. They feed on a wide range of food depending on what is available. They eat snakes, lizards, small mammals, frogs, rodents, bugs, beetles and worms. For large prey such as lizards and snakes are bashed against rocks or trees to kill and soften them before being swallowed.
Kookaburras have been known to eat some of the most venomous snakes in the world - including the Eastern Brown Snake rated as the second most toxic of all snake venoms in the world.
The Laugh.
The largest bird in the Kingfisher family and best known for it's laughing ... "koo-koo-koo-koo-koo-kaa-kaa-kaa"
I was always told that if I heard a Kookaburra laughing at dusk, it meant that it'll rain by morning, and vice-versa. Growing up in during a drought it was quickly disproven.
Another apparent reason for the laughing? To give you a heads up that snakes are close by - a great meal for the Kookaburra, not so great news for me or the snakes.
But the real reason they laugh? Not because you've just tripped over and dropped your beer, but to establish their territory, usually at dawn or dusk.
One bird starts with a low, hiccuping chuckle, then throws its head back in raucous laughter. Often several others join in. If a rival tribe is within earshot and replies, the whole family soon gathers to fill the bush with ringing laughter.
You can hear Kookaburras in the Australian bush, or if you're lucky, hear them around Adelaide.
