Kookaburra baby cackling and feeding
The kookaburras around our neighbourhood are very noisy at the moment. A couple of juveniles drop by regularly to practise their cackling skills. They’re cute and funny.
In this video, you can see one youngster crooning to himself, and another behind the branches. In the background, other birds chime in to show him how it’s done. A parent comes by a couple of times too, to feed the ever-demanding little one.

What a great video of the baby kookie. I love how they snatch the food from the parent, good thing their beak is small! 🙂
What can Kookaburras be safely fed ? Is it Raw meat.? We have x4.that visit late afternoon before sunset and are very friendly. Thank you lovely videos and information .
