The Kookaburra is Australia's largest Kingfisher. They are well known for their unmistakable calls which are similar to a loud cackling laugh. There are 2 types of Kookaburras in Australia; The Laughing Kookaburra & the slighly smaller Blue-winged Kookaburra.
Below is the Laughing Kookaburra which is native to eastern Australia, though it has been introduced to south-western Australia & Tasmania.
