Baby Kookaburra - Sydney, Australia Pronounced Cook-uh-bar-ra |
My husband took this photo January 13, 2003. It's the youngest kookaburra we've seen. |

It sits in the trees and calls to its mother for food most of the day. Its call is different from an adult call and much quieter. |
It's been coming closer to us each day. It was 3 feet away from Peter when he took the photo. Absolutely beautiful. Notice its white feathers have brown markings and its lower beak is still dark. |
