The laughing Kookaburra

Hey everyone! Sorry for forgetting to do the 2nd part of my double decker blog, sorry.

This post is going to be about.....drum roll please....
THE LAUGHING KOOKABURRA!!!
I have no idea if you guys have even ever HEARD of a laughing kookaburra, but, I have been in a bird mood..

This is a kookaburra. I got this picture off of the San Diego zoo site.
The laughing kookaburra is a part of the kingfisher family, who dive into streams and rivers to catch fish, and are brightly colored. But as you can tell, the kookaburra is not brightly colored and it does not like fish.
They have a vary loud call that starts with a trilling sound then becomes a shrieking "laugh" before it ends with a soft chuckle! Most do their calling at dawn or dusk.
The kookaburra, when it is young, may stay around and help keep the chicks warm, feed their younger siblings, and defend their territory. When they are about four, they have to go find their own territory.
They get 15 to 16 1/2 inches long, and they eat snakes, frogs, and rodents.(gross!) Their chicks hatch without feathers and with their eyes closed. And the laughing kookaburra's call has been used as a sound effect in jungle movies to make the sound of monkeys! They live in Australia, Tasmania, and new Zealand.

I realized their is more then just 1 inch of snow, its probilly about 2 or 3. And its also REALLY cold! I am going to be FREEZING going up to dance tonight, because our van dosnt have heat...and our other one needs to be fixed. Also, hmm...nothing exciting happened last night or today so far. poo. And also, my friend Mallory, she makes this cool magazine called " Wildlife" And its pretty cool! If you like what I have been talking about with the animal part, then you would LOVE it! Just comment if you do...:)
Well, thats all I can think about saying...

BYE!
