Kookaburras are large, terrestrial kingfishers native to eastern Australia and southern New Guinea. They have a distinctive call, but only the Laughing kookaburra and the Blue-winged kookaburra of Australia have the distinctive "laughing" call.
They are carnivorous, feeding on insects, worms, crustaceans, and even small mammals, birds and reptiles.
Kookaburras do not build nests, but use their strong beaks to hollow out shelters in tree trunks (or enlarge tree hollows), or to dig out termite mounds.
