Kookaburras are large kingfishers native to Australia, New Guinea and the Aru Islands, in southeastern Indonesia. They have also been introduced into New Zealand.
In Australia, where they are arguably best known, they can be found throughout the eastern states of Queensland (except for the far western, arid regions), New South Wales, Victoria and the eastern parts of South Australia. Although not found naturally in Tasmania, they have been introduced to Australia's island state, and also to the far south-west of Western Australia.
Kookaburras live in open and dense bushland, including rainforests. As they feed primarily on insects, worms, crustaceans, spiders, snakes, lizards and even small birds, they can live in any well-treed area where these creatures are abundant. Kookaburras are also a common sight and sound in suburban backyards in Australia.
Kookaburras nest in tree hollows or even in burrows dug in termite nests in trees.

The question is purely academic. If there were no grass, there would not be other species. Kookaburras feed on snakes and lizards, which in turn, feed on smaller creatures that may hide in grass. If the kookaburras' food source died out, there would be no kookaburras ... But if it died out due to lack of grass, most animal life would have died out anyway.
