Laughing Kookaburras are found in eastern and southern Australia. They live in medium to dense woodland areas that are typically wet and cold.
Kookaburras are territorial and occupy the same well-defined territory all year long. They tend to congregate in groups of three or more, the breeding pair and helper(s). These helpers, who are mostly male, assist with the nesting duties and help protect the breeding pair’s territory. The Kookaburra has a unique song that is commonly related to a full boisterous human laugh. The song’s cycle starts with a low chuckle ‘ooo’ and then goes into a high ‘ha ha ha’ and then back into a low chuckle. - Taken from Animal Diversity Web. |
