That's awesome! Them's nifty kingfishers.

Where did you acquire such a lovely little beastie? I have a soft spot for exotic birds.

whoa! where did you get your hands on that at?!

Thanks April! I'm a mega-kingfisher fan myself!

Bob Mailloux @ Sandfire Dragon Ranch happens to breed them, so we picked up an extra male that he had. Now I'm on a quest to find a female! :)

Very cool.. I wasn't aware that they were being captive bred.

I'd look into getting one, but I don't think my ma would appreciate a laughing racket going on all day. Her little zebra finch irritates her with his noise.. lol

Just out of curiosity.. are they tamable/personable?

LOL ... Way kool! ... I just read the little guy a bedtime story last night that had a kookaburra in it ... he giggled everytime I said kookaburra ... but of course I was having a lot of fun saying it!

Now I'm gonna get dragged up there for sure!! :P

Very cute! Congrats Kara and Kev!


Dang though now I've got that song stuck in my head and I can't remember all the words!!!!!!!!!!!!!

kookaburra sits in the old gum tree, happy happy king of the bush is he, laugh kookaburra, laugh kookaburra....

then i go BLANK....arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh! LOL


~~Jo~~

he's definitely not camera shy. Looked like he was posing for you.

Wow.. having one of those, you could honestly say "I was the first one on my street to get a kookaburra." Then again, yer probably the only one, lol
I remember that song Jo.. I think the next line was "I'm in trouble deep" or something

Such a handsome fella! How's he settling in? I think it would be so cool to listen to him all the time, but I was wondering if he was driving anyone nuts yet? :D

Good luck finding him a girlfriend. ;)
