Meet the Blue-winged Kookaburra - The Non-Laughing Kingfisher!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness a male adult Blue-winged Kookaburra perched on a dead tree branch in Western Australia. With its striking blue tail, he gazes out into the vast Australian landscape. But wait, did you know that it's not just his tail that sets him apart? The female of this species boasts a beautiful rufous-brown tail instead. Unlike their laughing counterparts, these kookaburras don't burst into laughter but have a unique and harsh crackling scream with twittering sounds. Don't be fooled by their kingfisher family lineage though – they don't rely on water for survival. Instead, these skilled hunters venture into forests and bushlands to seek out snakes, reptiles, and insects. Captured by talented photographers Steffen & Alexandra Sailer from Ardea Wildlife Pets Environment, this single male Blue-winged Kookaburra showcases the awe-inspiring beauty of Australia's wildlife.
