Laughing kookaburra by Simon Williams (source).

Laughing kookaburra is a kingfisher species found in Australia and introduced to neighbouring countries. Kookaburra is the largest species of kingfishers, it weights around 0.5kg.

Laughing kookaburra gets its name from its laughter-like call, which is used to mark its territory. You can hear kookaburra’s call here.
