I came across this handsome devil on my walk last weekend. Now many could (validly, perhapse!) claim that kookaburras are JUST as annoying as cockatoos. And I suppose when they too are laughing up a storm at six in the morning I could be persuaded to agree. But really, I love kookaburras. I think they are beautiful and interesting birds. The fact that their distinctive laugh (and it really is a laugh ) is much more pleasing to my ear then the parrots screeching makes me forgive any AM politicing that they think they must go through.
There are some animals that I just seem to gravitate towards. I can't really explain why I seem to prefer them over other animals. I just do. Kookaburras are one of those animals. Every time I see or hear one it makes me smile and lifts my spirit just a little bit.

"I love to hear the magpies squawking in my garden/
Sit by the window and have a cup of tea."
And then I get an urge to have a cup of tea...
Ooh! I remember that song from my childhood too! I also remember another one I used to love as a kid that went along the lines of:
"The kookaburra laughs and laughs, way up in the tree/
He cracks his sides at all the jokes not seen by you or me"
One of the reasons I loved it so much is one of the reasons why the kookaburra was laughing went along the line of:
"there was a bull named Barney, he chased the cows galore/
But since he jumped the barb-wired fence, he chases them no more/
.... poor old chap broke his leg."
Which was exceedingly funny to me and my group of friends at that age!
