What? It's that giant kingfisher that lives in Australia!

So I went to the local little zoo today. The main reason: the latest news letter said that they got kookaburras now! I've always been fascinated by them ever since I had watched a video about them with the "Kookaburra Song" in it when I was little, so I was quite excited when I found out.

There's two of them, and they have a nice little enclosure next to the goats. They were right in the front when I got there and I must say, they're absolutely beautiful. The patterns of the feathers looks really neat. Kookaburras are really big though! 0_0 I thought they were much smaller, so that was a surprise for me.

I got to hear their call too! I had walked away, and was heading to see the emus, when they called out. It such a cool call for a bird to have. It's pretty, yet it makes you laugh. I started cracking up when I heard it. It made my day though.

The zoo has been adding a lot of new animals lately, but I think the kookaburras are definitely my favorite new addition.

Merry, merry king of the bush is he

Laugh kookaburra, laugh

Kookaburra, gay your life must be
