Kookaburras feeding their young,

While Kookaburras are a common sight in the suburbs, it is rare to see them tending their young. They often visit my place for fresh water , or to shelter from the rain, so to see a parent bird teaching their young to eat was too good not to record. Unfortunately , the iconic "Laughing" call will not be heard today, as it is normally used to warn other birds or mark territory.
Enjoy.
Gregg :-)

[@FishplateFilms]

Thank you! Not much happening on the layout lately , but I do have some videos coming up soon on my last bit of scenery before I start pulling it down to move. Cheers Gregg .

[@vsvnrg3263]

for those viewers in countries other than australia, if you want to find out what a laughing call of a kookaburra sounds like, just watch any tarzan movie made since the invention of talkie movies. it has been used in all of them.

[@FishplateFilms]

It was interesting to find that out , many movies used the call of the Kookaburra where there would neever be one..LOL . Thanks for watching. Gregg.

Kookaburra : And not a Pitch or Wicket in SIGHT; Sah ! 😁🏏

[@FishplateFilms]

LOL..I see what you did there!

[@upsd402]

Interesting bird, I think I have heard the kookaburras on some of your videos. If I remember right, it has it's own amazing sound,. Great video, it's starting to cool down here in Nebraska. Cheers from Terry.

[@FishplateFilms]

Thanks Terry! Yes , there is one I remember for sure , down at the Bethungra Spiral , but I'm sure there is more . We are at the end of winter , and I'm heading to Stirling in 3 weeks , so I will get some cool weather there! Cheers Gregg.

[@FishplateFilms]

Very true mate! I watched for a lot longer and he never swallowed it..LOL Love your clip on the Westy to Cunnamulla Adrian!. Gregg 🙂

[@steveweatherly1965]

Disappointed, was on the Overland Thursday last week 27th and no big hello Steve sign at your place as we railed past. 😂

[@FishplateFilms]

LOL....don't worry Steve, I'll make up for it when I'm there! Actually I will be down on August 31 for a week , to hopefully get some earthworks organised, but thats proving harder than expected? Hope you had a good trip on the Overland. Gregg 🙂

@@FishplateFilms the Indian Pacific platinum class spoilt us so although the Overland was good is nothing close to the Indian Pacific

@@steveweatherly1965 Yes I imagine Steve, but very different trains! I really enjoyed my trip to Adelaide on the OL a few years ago .

Why didn't the young bird eat the lizard that it's mother caught for it? Don't the parents have to teach their young how to fly, hunt, build nests, etc... in order to survive? Cheers, Joe.

[@FishplateFilms]

They have to work it out for themselves JOe! This bird is old enough to feed itself now, it may have been full or still learning to eat larger meals? Lots of our Native birds leave the nest as soon as they can fly and they're on their own . It's tough down here..LOL Gregg.
