The Laughing Kookaburra is an Australian native bird with a distinctive laughing call. It is the largest member of the kingfisher family, but it does not hunt for fish: rather, it captures lizards and snakes and occasionally small mammals.
The Laughing kookaburra is the only species of kookaburra with a very distinctive laughing call, that begins almost with a chuckle, before erupting into a raucous laugh. This is how the kookaburra defines its territory to other birds. The Blue-winged kookaburra also has a characteristic laughing call, though not as recognisable as that of the Laughing kookaburra.
Two other species of kookaburra are found in New Guinea and on the Aru islands of southeastern Indonesia, but these species do not "laugh".
An emu is an Australian bird that looks like an ostrich. There is also another Australian bird that looks like an ostrich called a cassowary.
In reality, neither the emu nor the cassowary actually looks like the ostrich. Their physical appearance is very different, but they are all members of the bird family known as ratites.Ratites are characterised by being larger, Flightless Birds.

The Australian bird that sounds as though it is laughing like a human being is called the Kookaburra.

There is no bird that looks like an ostrich related to the emu. The ostrich (from Africa), rhea (South America) and the cassowary (northern Australia and Papua New Guinea) are all Flightless Birds in the same category of "ratites" as the emu. Ratites have wings but the bones in their chests do not have the capacity for flight muscles, which is what a bird needs to fly.
An Emu would fit this description. See the related link.
There is really no such bird that exists in South America. There is, however, a bird that looks like an ostrich that lives in Australia: that bird is called an Emu. However, a flightless bird that lives in South America is called a Rhea, also known as a Nandu.

No an ostrich looks like its parents
This description fits the emu of Australia, but it does not really look like an ostrich. Another member of this family is the rhea of South America.The ostrich, emu, rhea and cassowary are all ratites, a group of flightless birds characterised by having chest muscles undeveloped enough for flight.
There is no bird similar to an ostrich in Australia. The tallest bird is the emu and, although it is a ratite (one of a particular group of flightless birds) like the ostrich, it is very different in appearance and behaviour.
i like ponies
yes, a ostrich is because it is a non-flying bird and it's fat just like the dodo birds, but the dodo birds were killed by men not ostrich's.
There are no ostrich-like birds in Argentina. The closest bird is the rhea, which is a member of the ratite family, to which the ostrich also belongs.
ostrich but it sounds like ostrige
