Kookaburra Report

Kookaburra

Habitat:

The Kookaburra inhabits eucalyptus forest and woodlands in Eastern Australia. They use the trees for perching and nesting and they hold their territory all year round. A Kookaburra’s call is used to establish territorial boundaries and shorter calls are used to interact with family members or to find mates.



Diet:

Kookaburras can eat insects, reptiles, amphibians and some small animals. Kookaburras have been known to kill snakes up to 3 feet long. They hunt snakes by grabbing the snake behind the head, and using their bill, hammer it against the ground.




Fun Facts:

  • Kookaburras are approximately 39 - 42 cm tall and weigh 196 to 465 grams.

  • Their beak can grow to about 10cm long.

  • Did you know that apart from their well known laughter they actually have a variety of different sounds?

  • A kookaburras mating season starts between October or November.
