No. Kookaburras are not nest raiders. They make their own nests in tree hollows, or in hollows within termite nests up in trees.

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.
