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.

∙ 10y agoKookaburra eggs are incubated for around 24-29 days before hatching, depending on the species. For the first thirty days after hatching, both parents take it in turns to keep the young chicks warm while their partner goes off to hunt for food to bring back to the nest. It takes the young chicks between 8 and 13 weeks to get all their feathers, and they are continually looked after by both parents. When the young ones are fully grown, they stay with the parents to form a family social group, all of whom help to defend their territory.
