It always helps to include a ruler or something on which to assess the size of
the feather and advise us what part of the country it was found in, or habitat
or something. But yes I think you are right with Pheasant Coucal. Tail feathers
of Laughing Kookaburras are sort of like that but I think the barring is not
broken and they have white tips. Also the shape fits In my thoughts better for
Pheasant Coucal.

Subject: [Birding-Aus] Feather identification...
Sorry...
Second post about this feather...
I sent the email without the picture...
Can anyone identify the bird species this feather came from?
I’m asking on behalf of a kid who is just getting into birdwatching ...
Is it Pheasant Coucal or kookaburra or neither??
Kirri 😊
