Kookaburra

The laughing kookaburra has a distinctive broad, brownish-coloured eyebrow that starts above its beak and tapers off behind the crown. The head is square in shape, and the beak comes down into a sharp point. Like the kingfisher, the kookaburra has a long bony ridge along the back of its skull, and strong neck muscles. Although not a diving bird, it is in the same family as the kingfisher. The wing feathers are a blue-brown colour, and the lower layers of feathers are white. Tail feathers are grey-brown, with white ends, and a brown bar pattern. The large, strong beak is black on top and light underneath. It is about 45 cm long and weighs 0.5 kg.
