Kookaburras incubate their eggs for around 24 days. Initially, the chicks are pink and bald, but their pin-feathers come through by the time they are sixteen days old. Fledging occurs around 5 weeks after they hatch. The baby kookaburras are ready to leave the nest by about 36 days, but continue to be fed by the parents until they are around three months old. The young birds stay with their parents, helping to form large family groups, all of which help to raise each generation of chicks.
