My feathered friend is a "kookaburra" or giant kingfisher. They abound in my neighbourhood and, even if we don't always see them, we hear their loud laughter from miles away. Their name is from the Australian aboriginal people who have taken the sound of the laughter (koo koo koo kaa kaa kaa) and made a word from it.
They are amazing birds- I've only seen them at 6 Flags but love their character and sound. A beautiful entry Marie!

Mystical and beautiful bird. Never seen but thank you for seeing now.
ReplyDeleteLovely collage, Marie.
It seems anything we see here that has to do with outdoor Australia is accompanied by the sound of distant kookaburras, so it's fun to see one of the fellas close up! Thanks for sharing this guy with us, Marie!
ReplyDeleteIs that your tongue I spy firmly in your cheek! Thank you for the smile, Marie.
ReplyDeleteFunny bird and pretty design!!
ReplyDeleteI used to love to sing the Kookaburra song when I was a kid, He is such a handsome devil and you have created a wonderful home for him...well done.
