  1. I often wonder if they call in these captive situations.
    It's such an important 'social' thing here in the wild.
    Hope it's enjoying life there.

The laughing kookaburra is a bird in the kingfisher subfamily Halcyoninae. It is a large robust kingfisher with a whitish head and a brown eye-stripe. The upperparts are mostly dark brown but there is a mottled light-blue patch on the wing coverts.
