Instead of Sunday Selections
I have for you two photos of Kookaburras that were in the big Silky Oak tree across the street from my home.
I'd heard them laughing earlier in the morning but from a different direction.
It appears to be a parent with a youngster and one flew away probably to get food while the smaller one stayed in the tree.
this is from youtube, so all you northern hemisphere people can hear the sound that wakes many Australians. Turn your sound up.
That's certainly some wake up call! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteBoud; it is lovely to hear, but this close to the city it isn't as common in outer areas closer to the hills and all those trees in those parts.
DeleteOMG as my kids would say. This beats my doves and rooks!
ReplyDeleteCharlotte; I have never heard rooks, but I have heard doves and find them annoying. The kookaburras are definitely better. Early morning magpie song is also lovely, they're quite musical.
DeleteHow fun that you could hear them laughing. Love that.
ReplyDeleteTha Happy Whisk; it is such a cheerful laugh, it puts a smile on my face and the day gets off to a good start.
DeleteIt was the first sound I got the first morning we slept in the new house - there is a park behind our house with some decent trees near our back fence and they were very vociferous!
ReplyDeletejeanie; I am so glad that you have them nearby. I am too close to the city and don't often have them in this area.
DeleteAdorei as fotos e elas são lindas!
ReplyDeletebeijos, tudo de bom,chica
chica; I am glad you liked them.
DeleteBeautiful photos, dear friend! And their laughter is infectious!!! LOL!
ReplyDeleteLinda's Relaxing Lair; thank you, they are infectious and I wake up smiling when I hear them, which is not often enough.
DeleteThey often start well before dawn and can certainly wake me up if I'm away from home, but I do love the sound.
ReplyDeleteAndrew; yes, as soon as the sun cracks the horizon, which is fine with me. Usually the first sounds I hear are the 6.30 am planes coming in for landing.
DeleteNow I have the Kookaburra song stuck in my head :-)
ReplyDeleteKathy G; it's a happy earworm at least 😃
