He, or rather I suspect he is a she, is a regular visitor. She has a friend with her and we call this one 'bung eye' and the other kookaburra 'squawk' because I think they had a bit of a domestic at some time and this poor girl had quite a sore eye for a while. Probably poked in her eye with her partners beak. As you can see their beaks are quite deadly.
She visits each day and when she sees me she does a lovely happy dance and flaps her wings, jumps up and down and very often gets so excited that she flies into our family room sliding glass door in her excitement. She loves being fed with raw mince which is why she is a regular visitor. I can hand feed her but she does get over enthusiastic sometimes and nips my finger. Yes that beak is quite large and her nip does hurt a bit, but she hasn't drawn blood yet.

@ceilidh I can see a smile too Margaret. No wonder as she is fed daily with raw mince.
September 27th, 2015  
@craftymeg She is very tame and visits each day. She sits on our garden chairs until I get up in a morning and she is always here first thing in a morning.
September 27th, 2015  
@happypat Yes it is the same bird. I think it is a female, if you read what I have written above. Their beaks are about 4 inches (10 cm) long. So can do serious damage to other birds, snakes, blue tongue lizards etc.
September 27th, 2015  
What a nice image - she certainly looks happy and well fed!
September 27th, 2015  
Fantastic close up of this lovely bird...fav
September 27th, 2015  
What a lovely shot Babs and how wonderful that she is so tame.
September 27th, 2015  
Beautiful bird. Great photo!
September 27th, 2015  
Happy and very clean Babs
September 27th, 2015  
Isn't he a gem
September 27th, 2015  
So appealing and you are very compassionate, Babs.
September 28th, 2015  
Gorgeous shot!
