Features Laughing Kookaburra Sounds

The laughing kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae) is a bird in the kingfisher subfamily Halcyoninae.
It is a large robust kingfisher with a whitish head and a brown eye-stripe.
The upperparts are mostly dark brown but there is a mottled light-blue patch on the wing coverts.
The underparts are cream-white and the tail is barred with rufous and black.
The plumage of the male and female birds is similar.
The territorial call is a distinctive laugh that is often delivered by several birds at the same time, and is widely used as a stock sound effect in situations that involve a jungle setting.
