Kookaburra (Laughing Kookaburra)
Dacelo novaeguineae
The kookaburra is kept indoors throughout the fall and winter. Kookaburra do not have the insulating feathers and down that other birds have to keep them warm in the winter. Visit our Winter Visits page to learn more about the amazing animals you can still see during the winter.

Kookaburras are also called the “bushman’s clock” because their loud calls are commonly heard very early in the morning just after sunset.
