There are four species of kookaburras, one of which is also known as the laughing jackass (but not by Australians). The Laughing Kookaburra and the Blue-winged kookaburraare the main species of Australia known for their raucous calls.
In particular, the Laughing kookaburra has a distinctive and recognisable laughing call which is used to mark its territory. It sounds somewhat like the laugh of a person when the call first begins. It then increases in pitch to a higher, stuttering laughing sound.
