Laughing Kookaburras

The laughing kookaburra is the world's largest kingfisher. It measures up to 46 cm from the tip of its beak to the tip of its tail.
The best video I could find is from Cincinnati zoo of all places LOL!

Great shot! The idea of a kookaburra making a "chirpy laughing sound" makes me smile too. Well done here, verysharp and clear and good to get the two at once!

What an excellent capture of this adorable bird. I like how the one bird looks like he's poking the other as if to say, "Somebody's photographing us."
