No. Kookaburras are not nest raiders. They make their own nests in tree hollows, or in hollows within termite nests up in trees. They will use their strong beak to dig out the hollows to enlarge the space. They lay their own eggs in their own nests, and do not raid the nests of other bird species.
However, kookaburras have been known to eat the chicks of other birds on occasion. This is not their normal diet, as they prefer to swoop down and collect small reptiles from the ground.

Yes. Bellbirds live in eucalyptus bushland and rainforests, where they repel other species of birds by killing their eggs and destroying or taking over their nests. This means that there are no other species around to help control insect populations, which cause the disease dieback in trees. Dieback causes trees to die where they stand, from the top down.

It depends on the breed of the bird.- Bird nests are commonly made out of twigs, grass, reeds and other natural foliage. Depending on the breed of the bird, the nest is made by either weaving the material in a similar fashion to basket weaving, while some other breeds use spit or mud to "glue" the nests together.- Many birds, mostly those who live in urban environments, will make their nests with human litter such as straws, plastic wrapping and so on.- Some birds, usually small African birds, make their nests out of mud or clay. They create an oval Rugby-ball shaped nest with a small hole to get in and out.- Some coastal birds simply live in small caves created naturally by weathering along the coastline.- Flightless beach birds sometimes build nests out of stones, pebbles and shells, as well as twigs and plant foliage. The shells and stones prevent the eggs from sinking into the ground.- The Flamingo creates a unique nest. Flamingos fashion mud, clay, silt and twigs to form a mound around their eggs.- Some burrowing birds, such as The Burrowing Owl. dig burrows in sand and soft dirt, much like a rabbit.
