It’s so true: they - kookaburras - are proficient food thieves & will steal the food right out of your mouth if you don’t get all of it in there fast enough. Seen it happen. Each party got half that sausage. And then, as you say - queue tears. 😭
The thing is, they’re such an attractive bird: attractive to look at, great laugh, pretty feathers, colour scheme etc. that you’re lulled into admiring them… and that’s when they strike. 😆

@robcrank68.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay Alt Theme is #K As penance, here is a serious "K". The nice thing about this shot is there really is a glint in the eye from the refracted sun, as well as a reflection of the scene. #photography #birds #kookaburra #nature #wildlife #ECK

Laughing Kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae)

This fine bird came up on to our back deck looking for a handout. Which is strange, because we'd never seen the bird before, nor feed them, and they've never come back since. But still, they seemed to enjoy the little bit of meat they got (You aren't meant to feed them mince on a regular basis, but, this was a one off).

A little bit of magic this afternoon. The sunshine came out, and so did the roos, kookas and kings. Shellie and I are out bush shooting in the high country. Will be a few of these pics in the next zine edition me thinks :)

Kookaburra Singing Lesson

Early one morning I heard some kookaburras singing close by and when I went outside to investigate, I found them perched on the telegraph poles across the road. It seems it was a kookaburra family as there were 5 of them and 2 were possibly juveniles who looked like they were trying to copy the adults, so I think it may have been an early morning singing lesson for the young ones!

Until next time,
