What do you mean? Introduced to where? Are you
in Australia?
Both species of Kookaburra are native to
Australia. The Laughing Kookaburra is native to eastern Australia and was
introduced to a few new locations as follows (from J.L. Long 1981):
south-west Australia, Kangaroo Island, Flinders Island, Tasmania and New
Zealand. Don't be confused about the scientific name Dacelo
novaeguineae, the species does not occur in New Guinea, that was a piece of
early explorer fraud.
The Blue-winged Kookaburra occurs only in its native northern
Australia.
