The bird that fits this description is the kookaburra. The kookaburra is a bird, a native Australian species of kingfisher, also found in New Guinea and on the Aru islands of southeastern Indonesia.

There are four species, one of which is also known as the laughing jackass (but not by Australians). The Laughing Kookaburra and the Blue-winged kookaburra are the main species known for their raucous calls, and the only species found in Australia. In particular, the Laughing kookaburra has a distinctive and recognisable laughing call which is used to mark its territory.
