    As I said before when you got your first one.. kingfishers rock!

    Do they make a lot of noise all day, or just at select times? I like their call, but I could see it irritating others if it's too frequent. lol

    Are they considered a softbill.. ie do they require a low iron diet? Just curious here.. someday I may like to own one myself.

    April- they do indeed rock! Extremely smart birds with a lot of personality to boot! They don't sound off all day long, but they will when the sun comes up, and then call again at night pretty consistently. I can typically elicit the entire laughing call if I "koo-ahh" and cluck to them, but sometimes they won't do it & people just sit there & look at me funny while I make all these silly noises. ;) Their call is really cool when you're about 5' away...when they're sitting on your shoulder, it's earsplitting!

    To the best of my knowledge, they don't require a low-iron diet, and will eat ANYTHING that they could possibly fit into that sharp pointy beak. They definitely know what is prey - i.e. anything that moves, vs. what isn't - people food, etc.

    Wonder if the birds are watching you making all those silly noises Kara and wondering what in the heck that human is up to this time LOL. They are really wonderful birds Kara, it must be very cool to share your world with them! What do they eat by the way?
