About These Birds
Laughing Kookaburra
The laughing kookaburra is the largest kingfisher in the world, famous for its raucous laughing call that has become an iconic sound of the Australian bush. Despite being a kingfisher, it rarely eats fish, preferring terrestrial prey. Family groups perform chorus calls at dawn and dusk to mark their territory.
Biak Paradise-kingfisher
The Biak Paradise-kingfisher is a near-threatened, spectacularly plumaged kingfisher endemic to Biak Island in West Papua. It has elongated white tail streamers, turquoise-blue and chestnut plumage, and a bright red bill. It inhabits lowland rainforest and is highly dependent on undisturbed forest for nesting and foraging on earthworms and insects.
