During my stay in australia we had a tree right infront of the window. At the beginning i couldn't stand them but it became my natural alarm clock and now i miss them 😂
Not gonna lie, I think if I had to wake up to this, I'd want to have a shotgun handy. I wonder what kookaburra tastes like... I'm curious about kangaroo meat too. I'm not Australian and frankly I fear the place so feel disinclined to visit, but it is certainly an interesting land with an interesting culture. A shame you lot have far-left radical authoritarian politicians too like here in Canada with Justin Trudeau or down in the US with child-sniffing Biden. They sure do love their lockdowns and oppression, regardless of what the ever-changing science even says. I hope I never have to wear another mask for the rest of my life, EXCEPT during my future wife's birth if the doctors prescribe me to dawn a mask for the sake of our newborn's wellbeing. That's understandable and worth it. Some screeching red-haired tyrant jabbing a fat finger in my face about not wearing a mask? Yeah, she can go shag a rake, it's probably the best sex she's had in years given the dozens of men she probably opened her legs to like some bloody woman of the night. Yuck, no thank you, not marriage material and not worth consideration about any useless mask. I'd welcome her to dare lay a finger on me though. I've dealt with abusive feminists, including relatives, and have been physically harmed by females before. Yeah that's not gonna fly anymore, ladies. Equal rights, equal lefts, so act accordingly because I do not believe it likely that I'd pull any literal punches or backhands merely on account of whatever broken, festering, stinking hole you have between your legs. Show respect and you will receive it. Show violence and you will receive it. I am anti-feminist and have been for about 12+ years, perhaps even more to the point that it's been half my life now, and WOW it's not only unlikely that I will ever change that but if anything if there's some sort of anti-feminist level that is above 'anti-feminist,' yeah that's probably the level I'd want to upgrade to in this Culture War. I'm bisexual, and I am anti-LGBT because that rainbow-flag-waving movement have been co-opted by child-obsessed groomers and thereby the allies of that movement are ALLIES OF GROOMERS. Act accordingly, if you give a damn about children anyhow. Though be warned; the all-knowing and all-wise far-left propagandists on mainstream media have declared that 'concern about children is far-right.' In that regard, yeah I think I'd like my status to be bumped up to 'extreme-right,' please? Thank you... The children will be protected, you disgusting child-obsessed groomer authoritarian savages. I'm in this Culture War until my last breath or until our ultimate Victory. This Culture War has been ongoing since before my life in the '60s, I was born into it from a feminist 'birthing person' as they like to call women now or 'egg producers' in a more recent case from tranny Rachel Lavigne, frankly in terms of trannies in women-only spaces in THAT regard I am somewhat myself becoming a feminist or TERF. Trannies are infringing on women's rights, and so THOSE TRANNIES who won't let women have their women-only spaces, are in direct opposition to me in this Culture War and I will continue to be outspoken online AND IN PERSON ON THE STREET, even when Antifa shows up which THEY HAVE. I will not be intimidated. Only death can silence me. God is with me and calls for me to speak, so I do. Truth now, truth forever, and I have for too many years known that the concept of 'political correctness' meant to stifle both thought and speech is a far-left concept propped up by lies and REQUIRING people to speak lies. I politely refuse. Or, if you prefer, unpolitely. Both are acceptable.
I don't mind a birdsong but there is a type of bird around me (north america) that just screams at like 300 decibels right outside my window at 5am. Kinda similar to this. I swear the smart little fucker actually uses the roof to amplify his screaming too.

My favorite part of kookaburras' laughing is the ones that are sort of late to the party and only start laughing towards the end, so when the rest of the group stops they're still goofily croaking out the last few notes, awkward af. Or when their babies learn to laugh - now _that's_ hilarious. They're great birds! Also, for those that don't know, Kookaburras are actually in the Kingfisher family. :)
Hilarious! I've never seen a man get "bit" by a kookaburra before and his response was epic, tee hee, hee! What's even funnier is I've never heard a kookaburra laugh before because I had yet to see one until now!!! 🥰🙏🏻
Always heard of Kookaburras and remember singing a Kookaburra song when I was a kid in school but never saw or heard them until you Australians (I presume it was the Australians) started show casing them on TH-cam. Didn't know they were so tame too! Anyway, thanks for sharing from an American.
You didn’t muck up the video! Totally just added more giggles! Never saw these when I lived on the GC & I lived from central to rural, maybe didn’t bring the right treats to the table!
Here in Texas they sometimes play these sounds on speakers in front of the Walmart to keep the Great-tails away. It seems like it works… but most of the time they don’t play them and let the Great-tails stay lol.
I spent a couple of years traveling OZ and the bird life was fantastic. In this country, the Kingfisher is a relative to the Kookaburras. My friend would feed then on his back deck railing grilled chicken, which seemed almost cannibalistic to my American mind. What a great country full of colorful larrikins, and that just covers the blokes I met.
About 60 years ago we used to sing a song at the Brownies, Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree, merry, merry King of the bush is he, Laugh Kookaburra, laugh Kookaburra etc. This is the first time I have heard Kookaburras laugh and it is quite infectious. Thanks for sharing. 👍🙏🏼
When I was growing up in the 1950s and '60s, there was not enough content to fill the time on the thee major television networks, so they often played old movies from the '30s, and '40s. Those sometimes included movies which featured jungle venues in Africa such as the Johhny Weismuller Tarzan movies. Every one of those movies had the sound of kookaburras calling in the jungle despite the fact that kookaburras do not live there. I guess the sound seemed like the exotic sounds which one might find in a jungle. I was an adult when I discovered what animal produced those laughs, and where it actually lives.
...'kookaburrah sits in the old gumtree, counting all the monkeys that he can see, laugh, kookaburrah, laugh, kookaburrah, that's not a monkey, that's me!'...the lyrics to a round-repeat song we learned in gr. 5...listening to and watching those raucously hilarious badboys of Aussie birdland was great fun...they're pretty smart, too, I'm told!...be well, all of you 'diggahs' doyne thay!...
Seven big snake eaters all in a row! A fully grown Kookaburra can eat a six foot long snake! They kill them by picking them up then flying them to fifty feet and dropping them on rocks! Once slammed they were ready to eat, headfirst yum! Traditionally when bush housewives heard that laughter close by… it meant it was safe to let their little one’s play in the yard! One of my favourite birds and easy to semi-domesticate with a little food every day! Father of the Kingfishers, though these big Kings are not the swimmers of the family… they have much more interesting prey!
"Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree, counting all the monkeys he can see. Stop Kookaburra! Stop Kookaburra! That's not a monkey - that's ME! A little jingle I learned as a kid popped into my mind. I'm 72 yo. :-D
first time in aussie was 2008 for a weekend pub crawl from new zealand - my first encounter with a kookaburra was their trademarked laugh i initially thought they where monkeys hiding in trees (since when has australia had moneys i thought?) but quick thinking saved the day - i heard about the kookaburra and immediately came to the conclusion that they where exactly that not monkeys
Normally you don't have that many together .But it's pretty cool hearing them in the morning. Not 50 of them just one or two. It goes great with coffee
We met friends in Australia. Took a trip there. They picked us up and went to their home. Stepping out of the car a kookaburra did his call. Like it was planned.
Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree lyrics Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree, Merry merry king of the bush is he. Laugh, Kookaburra, laugh, Kookaburra, Gay your life must be!

They are laughing because the 2nd Kookie from the left told all his mates that he was going to bite the human's finger when he offered them food. They thought that was hilarious.
It's a shame we didn't get to hear the joke that made these guys laugh so hard.
