#Kookaburras

[pyjamacryptid]

I am SO sure that my local kookaburra knows I’m obsessed with him because anytime I hear him or see him in my backyard I’m running and pressing my face (and phone camera) to the glass with the giddiest smile on my face.

Also he’s looked right at me with all the judgement a bird with mocking laughter for birdsong can have. I love him.

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Laughing kookaburras don’t need a gender reveal party; the sex of their offspring is almost always determined by the order in which the eggs are laid and whether or not the parents had any helpers. The first-laid eggs are almost always male, and the second are almost always female. Nests that have helpers are also far more likely to produce males than those without.
