History

These birds like to live in forested areas near the coast and are especially drawn to eucalyptus trees, which are perfect for nesting and finding food. They eat insects, small reptiles, and sometimes even small mammals. Kookaburras are also known to thrive in suburban neighborhoods and farmland.
