Kookaburras are birds, so they lay eggs in order to reproduce.
They tend to mate for life, and they nest in tree hollows in their territory, returning to the same hollow each year to breed.
The female lays between two and four eggs per clutch, between September and December. Both the male and female incubate the eggs, and it takes around 24 days for the eggs to hatch. Once the chicks are old enough to fend for themselves, they tend to stay with the parents for up to four years, even helping take care of subsequent clutches of eggs.

Here, they lay up to three eggs, usually two days apart. Blue-winged kookaburras also make their nests in the soft bark of the baobab tree.

Do kookaburras mate for life?
Kakapo, like all birds, reproduce sexually. They must first attract a mate. The male does this by producing a subsonic mating boom with his inflatable thoracic air sac, which can be heard several kilometres away. Females are attracted by the call, and as they approach, they are drawn to the male's exact location by a higher pitched "ching" call. The males gather in groups to compete for female attention in what is called a 'lek' mating system. Males have their own 'calling posts', which are specially dug-out bowls in the earth where they perform to impress the females. When the females arrive, they wander among the males engaging in their courtship displays and producing their calls before deciding upon a suitable mate.
