They look like Laughing Kookaburras to me. Lower mandible too slight, upper
too curved and the back of the head too rounded for Blue-winged. Can someone
with Hansab find something which we could use to make a positive ID without
reference to colour. these birds are less than an hour away so I could go
and measure them if that is what it comes down to.
Regards,
Alan

Many years ago there was an albino Laughing Kooka at Healesville Sanctuary
in Vic.
