I enjoy teaching my kindergarten students about these birds every year - and letting them listen to the kookaburra call online. They love it! Great shot here! :)
This is going to sound really weird but I heard a Kookaburra today while I was in my garden. There is a man who lives opposite me who keeps exotic birds and I'm occasionally surprised by some of the sounds I hear. Lovely shot and framing.
@pattyblue wow, that made me cry immediately! it is illegal to export our native birds and such an awful trade that we try to stop but obviously they make too much money no matter that the vast majority of animals die in transit.
@koalagardens Oh no! I didn't realise that. I'm sorry for upsetting you, maybe is wasn't a Kookaburra and I just thought it was how one sounded..
I don't think he is the sort to do anything dodgy.
We used to sing a song when I was in the Girl Scouts about Kookaburras- I laugh now because I think we pronounced it Kook-a-bear-a which is totally wrong! I had no idea what they looked like or even what they sounded like except that the song said they were laughing. Now I feel quite pleased that I know what they really look like, how to pronounce the word, and how they sound- all thanks to 365! Good shot!
@pattyblue so many people don't realise what the story behind the scene is - they see they can buy an exotic animal and think 'awesome'! so it doesn't mean he intentionally did wrong :)
@olivetreeann was that 'kookaburra sits in the old gum tree, merry merry king of the bush is he, laugh kookaburra laugh, kookaburra gay your life must be' ?
I hear that song in my head like dozens of times every single day living here 🤣🤣🤣
