History

Adult kookaburras are generally around 28 to 42 centimeters (11 to 17 inches) in length. They have a sturdy build and a large, powerful beak. Kookaburras are carnivorous birds and are known for their predatory skills. They feed on a variety of prey, including insects, small mammals, lizards, and even small snakes. They are also known to snatch food from the ground or catch it mid-air.
