Re: tell a Model A related story
The kookaburra.
It’s a kingfisher. Worlds largest and grows to nearly 16 inches. Eats small fish, small snakes, rodents and lizards.This maybe Australia’s most well known bird because of it crackly and raucous chorus which is a territorial claim. Otherwise known as the Laughing Jackass. Almost everybody loves the kookaburra. I have mixed feelings. They are carnivorous and take young chicks of other species from their nests. Being territorial they discourage other species from our yard. We had one sit on our clothes line and attack it’s reflection in the window. Always blood on the sill. If I feed the magpies the Kooka will swoop the food and Magpie will chase it.With a very quick 180 the kooka will return, grab Magpie’s dinner and be off. Magpie out smarted.
But still I do like to hear their laugh. I have a link to a short you tube clip and it is really worth a look and listen. You need to copy and paste it on your internet programme. Please don't miss watching this short 2 minute clip.
