Kookaburras

 


Kookaburras are large kingfishers which live in Australia and New Guinea. They get their nickname the "laughing kookaburra" for good reason, as their distinctive call sounds like human laughter.

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree,
Merry, merry king of the bush is he.
Laugh, kookaburra! Laugh, kookaburra!
Gay your life must be!

We have notebooking printables (pages and booklets) for your kookaburra research as well as a range of printables, fun worksheets and colouring pages for children.
