Subject: A query about a kookaburra
Date: Tue, 2 May 2006 17:21:20 +0800
Hi Frank, I hope you may be able to help me with my query and if
not maybe you can let me know how would be able to.
We live on a farm 14 kilometres east of Geraldton.
About October last year a nest couple of kookaburras had a baby and
we were fascinated watching it learn to laugh, which it did in a
couple of weeks.
Then the parent birds had another young one just after Christmas.
It is a male and he has never learned to laugh properly. We have
been amused, annoyed and frustrated listening to him constantly
trying to laugh. He gets to the kook kook kook kook section but can
never get onto the the ka ka ka ka section of the laugh. We are
wondering if this is common. Perhaps we need to get a kookaburra
speech therapist for him.
It would be interesting to know if this is common or unusual.
Thank you for taking my email
