I've met two kookaburras today. They were laughing their heads off. What does it mean? |
In a loud, echoing, good-natured, but rather hysterical, laughter? |

My Mum used to say that it means rain is coming. The other explanation is that they are talking to each other in family groups. See tomorrows weather and choose one or both. |

That is just the sound they make, it's natural.
Kookaburro sits in the old gum tree
Merry, merry king of the bush is he

It means they are staking out their territory and by laughing out loud they are letting other kookaburras in the area know that this is their piece of hunting ground and the louder they are, the least likely they will have any other kookaburra contemplating enter into their piece of hunting ground or they will be attacked. Have you tried feeding them and making pets out of them?. They love long bits of meat the same size or bigger than a worm. |

Strange that you say they were laughing when they met you, ny.
Maybe they were trying to tell you something, me thinks.
Edit: For those who don't think Kookaburras laugh go to the website below and listen.
http://teachit.acreekps.vic.edu.au/animals/kookaburra.htm
When a Kookaburra, also known as the Laughing Kookaburra, laughs it starts in a ''Kook-kook-kook,'' then their end in a ''ha-ha-ha''. |

But Why??
|
they just heard the latest kiwi joke, and found out we flogged em in the cricket I guess. |

They don't laugh at everybody only some people, just like kangaroos don't box everybody only some. I would stay clear of kangaroos if I were you. |

It is a territorial sound they make morning and night (and sometimes in between) to let other kookaburras know that the area is already inhabited by a family group. |

I'm lost....are these kookaburras people or birds....hmm...because birds can't laugh...and a person with a name like kookaburra doesn't deserve to laugh..... |
