@PatternChaser Kookaburras are big Kingfishers. They’re a bigger, more stocky bird with a wider beak. We love them. They sound like they’re laughing.

Magpies are famous for attacking people during their nesting season. Kookaburras are famous for laughing at people who are being attacked by magpies during the nesting season.

Fact: Most Australians fear Magpies above all other animals in Australia.

Australian Magpies.

They are such badasses.

They will sometimes wear seagull faces on their beaks.

An Australian Magpie stares directly down the camera lens, its red eyes piercing from its black feathers covering its head and breast. A collar of white feathers hangs over its shoulders. The beak is white with a black tip.  When viewed front on like this, the entire beak resembles the face of a seagull with the black nostrils making the eyes and the black tip looking like the seagull beak.

The claw of a male Southern Cassowary held by a researcher’s purple latex gloved hand. One claw is the length of the entire hand… and there’s three of them!
