Laughing Kookaburra

Dacelo novaeguineae

Description:

They are large to very large, with a total length of 28–42 cm, Kookaburras are best known for their unmistakable call, which sounds uncannily like loud, echoing human laughter – good-natured, but rather hysterical.

Habitat:

Found perched on a tree for around 25 minutes in a wooded area.
