Kookaburra: the Australian Laughing Jackass This largest and most unusual of the kingfishers (17 inches) is also known as the Australian Laughing Jackass. The bird's cry is a discordant, abrupt laugh, said to be even more startling than the hyena's (especially heard early in the morning). As a rule, the kookaburra does not catch fish, feeding instead on crabs, large insects, mice, rats and reptiles. During the nesting season of small birds, the kookaburra often robs their nests. Not all the kingfishers of the Old World are "fishers" in the literal sense of the word; in fact, many of them have feeding habits similar to the kookaburra's.
