“Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree…” This song was first sung by Australian children. The kookaburra is known for throwing its head back and “laughing” loudly.
Natives call the bird “bushman’s clock” since it always calls at dusk and dawn. The kookaburra bashes its food against rocks or trees to break the prey’s bones into smaller pieces.
