The one that offers up his food is so sweet . They are beautiful wild birds !! We are so blessed to have them here ...I love hearing them around my place ..it sounds magical !
@uncletiggermclaren7592 That would explain why it's hitting the meat against the wood to kill/subdue it even tho it's already dead. 😅 Why does it appear to look slightly bigger tho?
The young of some birds do look bigger, I have never heard an explanation of what that is about. So I just went and looked at the Toronga park zoo website, they are quite informative. The short story is that was probably a female chick, and fat. Long story, it turns out that previous years young stay bonded to the parents for up to three years before moving away to nest for themselves. And consequently each year the two chicks the adults raise, one female and one male, will be being fed by up to 6 and sometimes 8 adult birds. And it also notes the females are larger, and grow faster, which they note is an actual physiological thing unrelated to the amount of food they eat. They say in fact that it is harder for the females to maintain their health because they are slightly less agile hunters, and have to work harder because of it. @@DonSanchez
And I found another site that explains why some chicks look bigger than their parents after they first develop the ability to fly. It says they are not ACTUALLY structurally bigger, but their feathers have not developed the adult shape and strength, so the juvenile bird merely looks bigger because its feathers are not held as closely to the skin. It noted they may retain slightly larger fat reserves, but that difference is too small to visually detect. Which accords with my personal observations. Seagull chicks have a duller, less marked plumage, and look plumper than the adults too, but the next molting season they are only detectable because their feathers look less worn.@@DonSanchez
Did you notice how fair they are?? He takes one for him, the next one is always for his friend...awwww Soo damn cute :))) And he talks to his friend, he asks him each time if he wants it... Incredible! They have a high EQ and IQ!!
And see how the one who was being fed was finished, took off and flew to the other side of their friend and gave them their piece of meat... as if to say, "Hey, I'm full now, but my friend is still hungry so I'll move out of the way so he can have his fill."
Kookaburra are related to the Kingfisher but they don't eat or hunt fish. Kooka's eat meat - snakes, lizards, frogs and small mammals or beef steak as above.
Kookaburras are the largest of the kingfisher family they do this too fish but mainly to the lizards they eat so the lizards dont turn around and bite them I grew up around them and still here them occasionally not as much as i want too i love them animals
Wow,those cute little dinosaurs can really pack away a lot of grub! Good thing for us they're smaller than their ancestors now. Our Aussie friends are so lucky to have Kookas, Cockatoos, Magpies and Lories..and that they're so friendly!
kookaburras eat mice, snakes, insects, small reptiles, and the young of other birds; they have also been known to take goldfish from garden ponds. thus this is probably a behavior used to kill its prey in the wild.
When I was 10, back in 1960, we had moved to Sydney, and two kookaburras would come to the patio railing, just like in this video. Amazing. They came every morning. I fed them tiny raw meatballs. Such a wonderful memory to have in such an amazing country.
That's awesome, I lived in Perth for a year and hardly saw them there, they probably prefer the east coast since it's more tropical. I do that too almost every weekday with crows here at the harbor on an island in the north sea, they are far more shyer than Kookaburras (Considering humans have been mean af to them for centuries so it's no wonder they are skeptical of us), but man it really makes my day to feed them and give them some happiness. Everyone deserves to catch a break.
They also share feeding their offspring where all the aunts, uncles and grand parents help with the feeding of the young it is not unusual to see up to 15-20 birds living in extended families.
That’s soo cute they’re sharing! So adorable that it calls the other one .. look here I have another piece.. take it ..lol 😂 humans can learn from animal kindness ...
Most humans are kind. Enough of this trite messaging about animals being better than humans, it’s such a shallow self-deprecating way of going through life.
It always amazes me how we humans could learn a lot from animals and nature. Look at these two birds sharing their food and chatting away quite happily.
Its almost like people never talk and share. Dunno where yoh live mate but we do that here. And forget the human sharing its food with the kookaburras...
It’s interesting how animals all have their own personalities, & are little spiritual beings, like the one kookaburra stole the other kookaburra’s food. This is how Karma is created even for animals. Some are nice, some not so nice. The bird on the right is actually giving food to the one on the left. So it’s a generous bird.
A lo mejor el de la izquierda es su retoño y claro el de la derecha su mamá y madres al fin dando de comer a su hijo,que bella escena llena de ternura como las madres saben hacer con sus hijos.......
The younger one is so conscious of the elder that he always shares when he get an extra or large piece. Cute bond they share, something humans forget by age 5.
Very nice video, its interesting watching them share food, I'm used to watching blue jays eating peanuts at my feeder, sometimes it gets a little ugly...Very cute birds!
Sweet. Reminds me of an old NYC Girl Scout song - 'Kookabera sits on the old gum tree, eating all the gumdrops he can see, stop, koookabera stop, kookabera save some there for me' I didnt realize that Kookabera's are real birds
I have 2 sweet gum trees and named the spiky balls on the trees, cuckaburros. Did not know that there were birds called kookabera until last week on TH-cam. Learn something new everyday.
Wow I've never heard that version. Australians version: Kookaburra sits in an old gum tree, Merrily, Merrily king of the bush is he, laugh Kookaburra, laugh, Kookaburra how gay your like must be....
hahaha, that s the same way my blackbird birdies always smack the dried mealworms i feed them against the metal windowsill! They think the food is still alive ... it s hilarious.
James Heirumaru those birds are just the coolest!! I remember singing that song all the time when I was a kid. I didn't even know what they looked like, or how they sounded! Now that I think about it, seems America and Australia were connected a VERY long time.
James Heirumaru I wish I could just get one! But on the other hand, maybe not! Since they eat meat and all. I had a cockatiel for 29 years and he was my best little friend, very smart. And sometimes unbearably noisy! But I didn't really mind. After he died it was so QUIET!
+Robin Martz ... in the wild they eat mostly snakes which have a habit of biting back so they smack its head on a branch. They are also the largest Kingfisher.
The one that offers up his food is so sweet . They are beautiful wild birds !! We are so blessed to have them here ...I love hearing them around my place ..it sounds magical !
That Kookaburra takes great care of his wife, always offering her food before he eats himself. That pair must be very successful raising chicks!
This is called being a cuckold, there is nothing to praise here
The one on the left is immature, it is a chick.

Animals generally do have both, including us. But we are the crazy ones that deny this while also denying all our "animal" behaviour.

I love how they treat the meat as if it were a fish they'd just caught and smack and fling it around to subdue it. lol

Yeah they don't really fish, but they break and tenderize the rodents bones like that.
Graeme SYDNEY they actually eat fish if there is a option.but they aren’t the best when it comes to fishing lol
@@graemesydney38 they are kingfishers. They just dont eat fish, in fact most kingfishers dont eat fish. Thry are still kingfishers

Avian dinosaurs,
*Hits breakfast aggressively*
TalkToUAsia It has to make sure it's breakfast is dead first!
imagine people in restaurant hammering the shit out of their steaks with their fists before sitting down to eat
This is how I put my egg McMuffin to sleep before I eat it in the morning
kookaburras eat mice, snakes, insects, small reptiles, and the young of other birds; they have also been known to take goldfish from garden ponds. thus this is probably a behavior used to kill its prey in the wild.
They eat small snakes for a living and that’s how they kill them.

Shame that you fed them meatballs which will have made them sick as their calcium depleted.
They are your Spirit Guardian Animals if they turn up before you moved in and on the day you moved to your home.
@@chrisyuri4187SA 1830
Such beautiful birdies!! I love them so much!!
Listen to them chatting? Pft! LOOK AT THEM SHARING! That's better than most Humans can do. Bless them lil' birbs.

They mate for life.
Love2C their sharing&caring😀
They mate for life and rare their young (not all birds do either or both). They are territorial and live in family/clan groups.
Momma feeding the young.
Sharing is caring, love these two

I saw this comment and was confused. Then I watched the vid and lost it lol
The right one seems to be a mother. She still feeds her grown up baby.

Male is the one that always feed the other female, because if we feed directly to the female, the male get jealous and angry.

The generosity of the one on the right tho 😭!!
That's is so beautiful. Lovely to see this video. Thank you so much.
So cute..such a wonderful gesture of sharing!!!

They look so cute. It's like they're laughing all the time. The smaller one is so caring 😂❤😘
These birds make such unique sounds!!
Oh, I love the way they share food between them!!
You can not compare these birds to any other just beautiful 😊
The one on the right is sweet, making sure the other gets a fair share, instead of being greedy, lol. Love it ❤️
My favourite bird, loved them before, love them more now, how they interact and talk and share
Gorgeous birds. Precious.
They’re making me laugh when they’re laughing. So cute when one shares food with the other too… She shares with him? Thanks so much for sharing! 🤗

That's too cute. I love how the smaller one keeps feeding the bigger one after 2 pieces or so XD
This is so sweet my favourite birds,, thank you for sharing. :)
Not only are they cute but they’re friendly too
Wholesome birbs 🥰
I love Kookaburras, and I LOVE Australia
Yes, wherever you live is garbage in comparison.
Oh shit
Nor do Aussies ninja - we have laws, anti-discrimination boards and also sorts of enforcement and encouragement.
Why
Holy shit this was a while ago.
So much for eating like a bird.... they eat more than I do.
Cute and.wonderful little birds
One of the most adorable snake deterrents ever to exist.
There’s absolutely gorgeous!
Nice how they're sharing their food. Sharing is caring.
The parent bird feeding the big fledgling first! 💗
It's too cute! They share!
😍💚💙💜🧡💛 Ils sont adorables ! merci 💐
So cute the way they share!

I have the yellow crested cockatoo visit, they like the milk arrowroot cookies.
Mama and baby. How adorable
He’s sharing with the other. That’s really sweet ❤️
what a beautiful couple!!! (or friends...)
I love how she "stuns" the steak.
Maybe "tenderizing" Ha!😘
Thats the only way to be sure
That's what they do to the snakes they eat down there. Snaps the neck and spine.
My favourite bird 😍 just heard some out the back of my house, can never see them though! And they always stop laughing when I go outside.
that seems like a crap ton of food lol, these birds are so cool though
That one on the right is so thoughtful, giving up its meat to the other one. They must be great pals or lovers.
The younger one is so conscious of the elder that he always shares when he get an extra or large piece. Cute bond they share, something humans forget by age 5.
You're almost right. Their favourite food is snake and the "smack", as you call it is, in reality, how they kill the snake before devouring it.
I've seen kookaburras swoop in and fly away with snakes in their mouth .
Very nice video, its interesting watching them share food, I'm used to watching blue jays eating peanuts at my feeder, sometimes it gets a little ugly...Very cute birds!

The one on the left is sure bossy! He reminds me of my green cheek conure who is always stealing from the other birds. Lol
So sweet and beautiful!
Amazing, these birds are so smart and they respect each other.
These birds are very courteous drivers and humble.
Wie schön die Beiden. ❤❤❤😍
Very good communication, better than some humans
Used to live down in those parts and always enjoyed hearing their “laughs” that broke the silence at night.
I ALSO HATE SLEEPING IT IS THE WORST 👏
Omg...
Theyre soo cuute!!
Mumma & bubba. So sweet!
The male is giving part of his food to the female.!!!
We, are like that.!!!!!
Чому маленький кокатик, вiддае смаколики бiльшому птаху? Якi ж вони потiшнi курочки чудеснi! 🥰 🌿🐦🌿
Absolutely fabulous!
They shared better than humans
AND DON’T SMOKE 🚭 NOW
And it was a human who shared the meat with them
Miceal Bradley wow excessive response much?
Looks like a human is feeding them (sharing) and the parent is feeding it's offspring or sharing kind of like humans do.
@@micealbradely are you on crack?
Aww so sweet watching the one on the left share his food with his girl lol What a gentleman
They are such cute birds.
I LOVE HOW THEY SHARE THEIR FOOD!
I am amazed that flight was still possible after the heavy meal...
Baby and the mother checking the food - very nice. They eat a lot of bitey things so making sure it's dead first is a valuable skill.
SO LOVELY BIRDS ❤️
Yes ! 😘💕💕🏖️
Какая справедливая птичка, одну сама ест - другой с соседом делится.

Три съедает сама, а один кусочек птенцу. Не такая уж и справедливая))
Omg very generous very caring
That's a big baby, she must be proud.
I laughed for 5 minutes over that bird assuring his food was knocked out. I’ve seen many do it before, but this guy had such conviction.😂
양보하는 거 너무 스윗한 ...😍
Awesome birds
The smaller one on the right kept calling to the one on the left to share its food with it...so cute!
The cutest creature on planet earth
They are not so cute when they wake you up at 5:00am.
live in the UK in summer, the birds start at either 3am or earlier. Winter, it's dark from 3pm to 9am
Talking or laughing 😂😂😂👀👀they're cute tho for real 💋🙋
😂😄
They laugh even while having meal🤣🤣🤣
Funny birds! Lovely!
So awesome! I love how they share the meat.
Beautiful!
Oh' what wondeful birdlife👋🌅〰️💕〰️〰️〰️🕊🕊
