Here is another Laughing Kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae) this time displaying the blue wing colouring and the unusual red and black bars on the tail. They are members of the kingfisher family and therefore voracious feeders. They tend to eat insects, worms and crustaceans, but will also eat small snakes, mammals, frogs and bird hatchlings. I have observed more than once Kookaburras trying to tap through nests in walls to get at hatchlings but have yet to see one succeed. View Large And On Black
The cackling 'laughter' of the Laughing Kookaburra is one of the best known sounds of the Australian bush. Listen to kookaburra calls here.

The Laughing Kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae) is a bird in the kingfisher subfamily Halcyoninae. It is a large robust kingfisher with a whitish head and a brown eye-stripe. The upperparts are mostly dark brown but there is a mottled light-blue patch on the wing coverts. The underparts are cream-white and the tail is barred with rufous and black.

This kookaburra was drawn by Marieke, in April 2017, while she was at the zoo. This is a live sketch, from her dummy. Hit the ground running! Not framed, A5.

My all time favourite backyard Australian native bird- the Kookaburra and guess what? She is sitting in an old Gum tree. 🎼🎻 There are a few white gumblossoms and a native bee buzzing around them. The Gumleaves print matches in perfectly using the same tones and colours. The Kookaburra and gumleaves paintings were lovingly rendered in watercolours and are a fitting tribute to one of our favourite Aussie childhood nursery rhymes- ‘ Kookaburra Sits in the Old Gum Tree ‘ This native bird art print will brighten any wall space in your home with gumleaves and it would make a lovely artwork gift to any Aussie living overseas.

Kookaburras (genus Dacelo) are terrestrial tree kingfishers native to Australia and New Guinea. They are large to very large, with a total length of 28–42 cm (11–17 in). The name is a loanword from Wiradjuri guuguubarra, and is onomatopoeic of its call. The single member of the genus Clytoceyx, though commonly referred to as the Shovel-billed Kookaburra. Kookaburras are best known for their unmistakable call, which sounds uncannily like loud, echoing human laughter – good-natured, but rather hysterical, merriment in the case of the renowned Laughing Kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae); and maniacal cackling in the case of the slightly smaller Blue-winged Kookaburra (D. leachii). They are generally not closely associated with water, and can be found in habitats ranging from humid forest to arid savanna, but also in suburban and residential areas with tall trees or near running water and where food can be searched for easily.
