The most obvious answer is the length of the beak. In adult birds, the male's beak is much thicker and longer. The body of a male is also thicker set, but this isn't always easy to see if the kookaburra you're looking at is alone. But the beak is distinctive - thick and with a higher bridge and also longer in the male. Juvenile male's are not so obvious - they are similar in size and shape in both body and beak size to females.

No. Kookaburras do not have hair on their tongue.

Kookaburras do not make nests like many other birds do, out of sticks, twigs, and/or grass. Kookaburras lay up to three eggs in a nest they hollow out of an old termite nest, or a hollow already in a tree, which they will sometimes enlarge with their strong beaks, if it is too small.

Its just a flock

The main enemies of kookaburras are their predators, which include birds of prey such as wedge-tailed eagles, brown goshawks, powerful owls and butcher birds.

An unwary kookaburra may also be caught by a cat, fox, dingo or quoll.

Badly kookaburras are called pullus. (See the related link below)

A newly hatched kookaburra is called a hatchling.

As it develops feathers it is called a fledgling. However, the general term of "chick" is also acceptable.

The main predators of Laughing Kookaburras are birds of prey such as wedge-tailed eagles, brown goshawks, powerful owls and butcher birds.

An unwary kookaburra may also be caught by a cat, fox, dingo or quoll.

The name 'kookaburra' does not actually have any particular meaning. The name was derived from the word 'guuguubarra', which was given to this bird by the indigenous Wiradjuri people of New South Wales, and purely based on the sound of the kookaburra's territorial call.

No.

All kookaburras, are carnivorous, feeding on invertebrates such as insects, spiders, worms, centipedes and crustaceans. They also eat vertebrates such as reptiles, fish, frogs and even small birds and mammals. Kookaburras have been observed catching a snake or lizard, carrying it up into the trees, and vigorously beating it on a branch or dropping it to kill it.

Maybe: kookaburras are slightly more solidly built than magpies, and they stay in family groups, so that if a magpie attacked a kookaburra, there would most likely be more kookaburras that ame in to drive off the magpie. However, magpies are strong birds, very intelligent, sometimes aggressive, and adept fighters, so in one-to-one combat, the magpie would probably stand a better chance.

As a species, kookaburras do not eat eggs. However, there are always individual exceptions to the rule, and no doubt some kookaburras have been observed eating eggs. Kookaburras prefer live game. They are, are carnivorous, feeding on invertebrates such as insects, spiders, worms, centipedes and crustaceans. They also eat vertebrates such as reptiles, fish, frogs and even small birds and mammals. Kookaburras have been observed catching a snake or lizard, carrying it up into the trees, and vigorously beating it on a branch or dropping it to kill it.

Yes. The kookaburra is a bird. It has feathers, and it reproduces by laying eggs.

No. Kookaburras do not eat fruit. They are carnivorous, feeding on invertebrates such as insects, spiders, worms, centipedes and crustaceans. They also eat vertebrates such as reptiles, fish, frogs and even small birds and mammals. Kookaburras have been observed catching a snake or lizard, carrying it up into the trees, and vigorously beating it on a branch or dropping it to kill it.

No. Although it is carnivorous, a kookaburra is not a bird of prey. A bird of prey, by definition, is one that not only feeds on animal flesh, but is a raptor, having sharp, powerful talons and a hooked beak. A kookaburra does not have talons, and its beak is long and straight.

The rainforest is just one of several habitats where kookaburras may be found. Kookaburras live in open and dense bushland, including rainforests. As they feed primarily on insects, worms, crustaceans, spiders, snakes, lizards and even small birds, they can live in any well-treed area where these creatures are abundant. Kookaburras are also a common sight and sound in suburban backyards in Australia.

Kookaburras are not at all dangerous to people, or to their pets. They do not attack caged birds as magpies and butcher birds do. At most, they are dangerous to the snakes, lizard and small mammals on which they feed.

Australia.

Koalas are particular to eastern Australia, and can be found along the eastern and south-eastern coastal regions. They are found in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and the eastern part of South Australia. They have also been introduced to national parks in southwest Western Australia. They live in cool temperate zones, right up to hot, sub-tropical zones. Koalas live in a range of habitats, as long as there are abundant eucalyptus trees of the sort they prefer. They are found on coastal islands, tall eucalypt forests, bushland and low woodlands inland.

Kookaburras are native to Australia, New Guinea and the Aru Islands, in southeastern Indonesia. They are found naturally in Australia's eastern mainland states (those bordering the Pacific Ocean) of Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria, and have been introduced to the island state of Tasmania. They have also been introduced into New Zealand. All of these countries are in the Pacific.

They are not found in the USA, so are not found in any if the US Pacific states.

Kookaburras are carnivorous birds, feeding on invertebrates such as insects, spiders, worms and crustaceans. They also eat vertebrates such as reptiles, fish, frogs and even small birds and mammals.

Kookaburras wait, sitting still and camouflaged on branches, as their sharp eyes scan the ground for movement. They swoop to grab their prey then return to their branch. Kookaburras have been observed catching a snake or lizard, carrying it up into the trees, and vigorously beating it on a branch or dropping it to kill it.

Kookaburras have a very robust beak which they use to fend off the occasional attacker. They live in groups and their laughing call is used to warn other birds not to come into their territory.
