Laughing Kookaburra

This kookaburra is actually laughing, it is hilarious.

[@4everkokonut]

I recently went to Australia, and these birds are amazing. And yes, I really enjoyed being woken up at 5:30 am by these folks!

I came here to make that joke.. again

[@melaniebollhalder4865]

🤣🤣 yes

[@cottoncandyfriends8933]

The sound of someone being on quarantine/lockdown for tooooo long! 🤣🤣🤣 Cotton Candy

[@buttercup_baby]

I'm not sure what I excepted, but it certainly wasn't whatever sound that bird made.

[@littlemisskimmycat78]

I hear this every morning and every evening. Proud to be Australian!

[@cyanbenjamin8338]

There really cool birds

[@cyanbenjamin8338]

Is that something someone can have as a pet?

[@flamingfrancis]

@@cyanbenjamin8338 Sorry, they are protected native symbols but if you live close enough to bushland they have a tendency of wanting to adopt us.

[@hh7184]

Sounds like someone viciously washing a dry erase board.

[@BeerDad69]

Ok I get why the Aussies love these things so much. Bald eagles are great and all but this thing rules too

[@ReformedSooner24]

Super Nintendo Chalmers This thing wouldn’t win in a bird fight. Yeah its got that beak, but the eagle has talons AND its own decent beak.

[@aetheralLitannia]

@@ReformedSooner24 y do u always have compare something in a fight ?

[@ReformedSooner24]

Jibrayiyil revan Relax, I’m just messin around. I’m American and the bald eagle is the one animal that is used to symbolize America more than any other animal (even more common ones).

[@EssexAggiegrad2011]

The call of a kookaburra has been used in countless jungle films despite the kookaburra being native to Australia

[@thegaminggallimimus4429]

I love waking up to this sound

[@sp8cey]

when your teacher tells a really awful joke but you have an f in her class

[@4everkokonut]

I never get tired of those amazing birds! Saw a ton of them in our visit in Australia last summer (well their winter), they're just everywhere.

[@HONANIS]

Rem for the one

[@loulouraichu3250]

I love how it's so small and cute but it has a demon laugh

[@colinswain9740]

They aren't all THAT small. Decent sized "kingfisher". And they aren't all that cute when they literally bash the crap out of whatever they catch. Snakes, lizards, etc.

Whenever I heard that sound in films I thought it was a monkey. I love that you really do learn something new every day. I now know that: - the kookaburra is responsible for the creepy monkey sound in anything set in the jungle -and the sound of a fox barking is used in almost anything scary, to give the sense of something supernatural I think it's great that these two staple movie noises inspire images of something completely different to what actually produces them.

[@pinetreepizza]

I always thought it was a monkey too!

[@masterspark9880]

Also the bald eagle sound in movies (CAAAWW) is actually a red-tailed hawk. Real bald eagles sound completely different

[@sinclairchap]

I wake up to this sound every morning. Ah, I love Australia.

[@lilrodent1]

This me when I pass a test i didn't study for.

[@justin_thomas]

It's not annoying. I get to hear this every morning and every evening with more than one at a time and it is wonderful.

I LOVE they way they sound.I don't know why. It's very interesting and love hearing them.

[@zoepicot4196]

I hear Kookaburras almost every morning. Including today. 😁.

[@circusfreak812]

This is the type of demonic sounds I have to put up with just outside my house

[@lispyDribbler]

Trust me. Koalas are way worse. Their mating sound, sounds quite horrific. Something like what one would think a wearwolf should sound like. No wonder someone came up with the name "Drop Bear" 😁

[@starlion69]

I used to join in with these dudes every time they broke out laughing when I was in Australia- I couldn't help myself! Very infectious...

[@PersianAustralian]

And you always know when the sun's going down without actually looking outside because of the kookaburras.

[@its_andriette2918]

*ah yes, the joke he told was amazing that he laughed at his own joke*

[@4getfulness16]

Actually, I quite like it :). I hear them quite often in my backyard :)

"the.. The bird made that noise"

[@VidrioRevolver]

I've got two of these behind my back window in a nest somewhere, and every morning waking up to this is such a treat.

[@akrutaexe]

I love this call. Its so unique to me.

[@katrinasandow]

OMG just played this and my cat went crazy. I grew up with Kookaburras in my backyard constantly but where I am now I haven't heard many about, my cat is now hunting around my computer and speakers for the bird that's making the noise.

[@dies4572]

the bird made that noise...

[@markjacobs3580]

I videotaped one at the zoo doing the same thing. Beautiful animals,I wish they could live openly and go wherever they pleased if other humans didn't have to mess it up by hunting or fear.

[@MarinusMakesStuff]

He's not laughing, it's just a sound he makes and we project onto it that it's laughing.

[@moontah8849]

Everyone knows that

[@hdofu]

I wish he'd share whatever has him laughing so hard... could use a good laugh

[@HorseWhisperer2010]

Every single morning at 5am without fail. Right outside my bloody window. Gotta love Australia.

[@auldsk8r]

I just got back from Australia recently and had the good fortune to see kookaburras flying around in the forests. Yes, they DO laugh like that !

[@rebot53]

This birb is the most handsome bird ive ever seen in Sydney

[@dave474c]

This is the sound perpetuating inside the head of every Australian.

[@tiger101757]

I wake up to this sound every morning. Ah, I love Michigan.

certainly my favourite Australian bird. they used to come to our balcony in Sydney to be fed by scraps of meat.

[@bloodrunsclear]

O_o That is one happy bird

[@suburbanweekend]

I should put that as a place to go on my bucket list. I love that Australia has the most unique animals.

[@nyekijudit6272]

They are cute little beings. I once saw a video with David Attemborough and the bird of paradise. I laughed my socks off 😄. This is similar.

[@flamingfrancis]

The vision you saw was Sit David with a Lyre Bird. Copy is on YT.

[@BlueIdiotPie]

That kinda sounds like how I laugh

[@donatokawakameva]

Me too. Except mine sounds a bit evil.

[@mysticwine]

These little guys are a delight

[@phillacey878]

They are the most beautiful bird and their laugh is the sound of Australia we have them around our house and hear them every day love em.🤣👁👀

[@DENISMURRELL]

As a kid we used to care for injured kookaburras near Melbourne. People used to shoot at them with air rifles and catapults. We always had them around our house and we loved their crazy laughing at sunrise and sunset. The most authentic and distinctive Australian sound. The only two things I miss about Australia, cos I live overseas, are Vegemite and kookaburras laughing.

[@marypickering5656]

The bird is the word:)

I wake up to this in the middle of the night. I'M TRYING TO SLEEP, AUSTRALIA!

[@louiseobrien2010]

Their laugh really is very loud. Usually one of them starts and then a couple of others also joins in. You can get quite close to kookaburras in the wild as well. Imagine how scary this sound would have been to white settlers when they first arrived in Oz.

[@ORYGUNLADY]

first time we saw and heard one was when we were visiting the Royal Botanical Gardens in Sydney.........he was very close so we got a good look and even better 'laugh'

I worked at a exotic bird shop a few years ago and had no clue about its comical laughing. i was cleaning bird cages (we had about 30 of them in a big room) when it suddenly laughed! oh man! it scared the shit out of me!

[@EphemeralProductions]

Funny! I like his noise! :) NOW I know what that bird is in that popular "jungle" sound effect that's been used for eons!!!! LOL :)

[@elizabethblake1140]

Their laughter is contagious!

[@flamingfrancis]

We all interpret it as a laugh but it is in fact their part of their natural call. There is a magical story about the bird as told in the Dreamtime, the Indigenous Australian peoples' folklore. For tens of thousands of years the Guuguubarras were thought to be a gift from their God sent to wake up the tribal members so they could be awake in time to witness the new day dawning with a beautiful sunrise. Such a lovely story about nature.

[@inflikktion]

I visited a spot in Queensland once for a picnic. We had a kookaburra actually swoop across the table and snatch the food off my friend's fork as she lifted it to her mouth. It was funny but also a little scary, so we ate the rest of our lunch in the car. ^_^

[@KathieThomas]

Thanks for this. I often post photos of kookaburras on my photography blog and someone has asked what they sound like. I'm going to add a link to this on my blog so readers can listen also.

[@Pandaism100]

Lol at first i was like " Isnt that how all birds tweet?" then i heard it saying "HOHOHOHOHOH" THEN i found out that this bird is not a normal bird xD
