Baby Kookaburra learning to laugh - very cute

This baby kookaburra was in Belair National Park in South Australia, working hard on his laugh, trying to sound like Mum & Dad, but sounds more like a baby dinosaur with a sore throat. / nativeaustralia1

I love their big boofy heads. Such a beautiful & unique bird. My favourite part of camping is hearing them at night around a fire.

[@NativeAustralia]

There are a few sounds that typify the Australian bush but nothing quite like the Kookaburra. Maybe not this particular one but they've gotta start somewhere.🤗

[@voiceofreason7567]

Boofy is not a word... *CRINGE COMMENT* 👎😬😬😬

[@BirdsandGhibliFan]

Wow! 😲 I didn’t know that Kookaburras can still be heard at night. Interesting! 🤔😃

I hope to someday see and hear one of these magnificent creatures in the wild. One of my favorite birds!

[@glenystranter2713]

We have a family of Kookaburra's that are staying near where we live. Mum asked me what a strange noise was and I told her that it was a baby kookaburra. We've never had a family of kookaburra's before in the area.

How would you know what a baby dinosaur with a sore throat sounds like? Have you been traveling? One of those blue boxes?

Ha ha ha

[@electronwave4551]

Sorry to disappoint. Kookaburras have several variations to their calls. The juvenile is doing one version and doing it properly. They do not always break into the 'laughter' version, particularly if they are on their own, and depending on their status in their group.

[@HyperSonicXtreme]

When I get older, I’m going to make a lot of noise.

[@squidwardhates6686]

Kookaburra sits on the electric wire jumping up and down cuz his pants are on fire

I live in Far North Queensland, Australia… and I’ve been using this video, played LOUD, through my stereo in the back yard to attract families of Kookaburras in!! 😍
It’s so sweet and sometimes they bring their baby with them, too! 🙏🏻

[@anti-ethniccleansing465]

What a dumb thing to do, making the birds confused like that.
