Best Answer

One of the top predators for yabbies is an Azure Kingfisher. Unlike other animals, the Azure Kingfisher dives under the water to catch the yabby. Other birds include kookaburras, spoonbills, jabirus and even common domesticated birds such as chickens, ducks and geese. These birds usually either use their beaks to pluck the yabby from the water or just eat them when the yabby are out of water.
