Laughing Kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae)

Three kookaburras came to our yard again on a rainy afternoon! We fed them some cat mince, because that's all we had on hand, but if they become regulars, we'll move to a more appropriate food for them.

These kookaburras are so tame. Here’s an iPhone video of one just chilling on the railing.

Low clouds this morning in the mountains, bit that didn't stop a collection of birds turning up as soon as I stepped on the veranda.

They wanted food, but I don't have any.

Also, look how wide a kookaburra can open its beak!

Birds in the veranda this morning as the clouds envelope the mountains.

We had some hopeful visitors this afternoon. They were looking for free food, but we didn't have anything appropriate (bugs, skinks, small snakes).

A very hopeful Kookaburra on the veranda railing. It has a white body and head, brown wings with flecks of blue, brown bandit mask and a two tone beak.

A pied currawong on the veranda railing. It is mostly black, but has some white patches on the wings (and under the wings) and on the tail. Also a beady yellow eye.

I went out on to the veranda and a kookaburra flew up to say hello. Clearly someone feeds it but I don’t have any fresh skinks or snakes so it’ll have to find its own food.
