Kookaburra Inna Box

[den]

I have a concussed kookaburra. He must have a serious headache because I could pick him up without losing a finger. A few days R&R in my hospital cage should have him feeling better.

There's a gum tree joke here, but I'm entirely too timid to make it :D

Any idea about how he got that way? I saw a few battered birds limping around on the golf course last weekend, none serious enough to warant attention, although I did not see Hopalog the Magpie , who definately has a old broken wing , but has compenstated by learning to jump along the ground very quickly, and up trees.

I don't know what happened to him. He was just sitting on the ground and made no attempt to get away.

Never seen a kookaburra. That beak looks like it would be a force to be reckoned with! Do they use it for fruits and nuts or for insects? It looks like a distant relative to some of the woodpeckers we have around here.

They're a large kingfisher, but instead of fish they catch snakes and lizards.

Heal Kookaburra!

Fill up your health gage!~

They're a type of kingfisher:). That looks like a blue kookaburra as opposed to a laughing kookaburra (lack of eyestripe?):

I've always wanted to watch them fish. Kingfishers are such amazing birds:D.

He's a kookaburra. We don't get the blue-winged kookaburras here.

"Concussed Kookaburra" would be a great name for a light punk band. In fact, their first album could well be Kookaburra Inna Box.

I wonder if it was drinking fermented guava juice, and is now hungover!

Hey feychildthe's Kookaburra photo from Steve Irwin's Australia Zoo, (where they were all previously injured birds and no longer able to fly - so they had a nice treed open area where she could get really good pics) is up for an award at this year's Thompson Festival of the Arts.

She thinks they're awfully cute

Oh ... and I'm supposed to tell you that she really loved her first day working at the Zoo, she learned what Wolves and Bobcats and Lynxes eat (dead chickens and chicken parts), and got to clean gerbil and rat cages! (just to make sure she wouldn't be silly and squeamish about rodents).
