That's awesome! Them's nifty kingfishers.

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

[mr~python]

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

[Kara]

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!!
