2013? Are You Having a Laugh?

"Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Merry, merry king of the bush is he
Laugh, Kookaburra! Laugh, Kookaburra!
Gay your life must be"

This young Kookaburra came into the garden today. It looked a little lost, perhaps separated from its mother too soon.

Kookaburras really do seem to laugh - as the song (above) claims. To hear an adult bird, click HERE.
