What a great childhood ’sound’ memory. I live in the bush now and hear the kookaburras every morning just as I did in Brisbane as a child. But I don’t know if I would have been so clever as to associate this with a childhood memory. Well done!

Like you I include the sound of kookaburras laughing as a childhood memory. They also visited us for meat snacks. The NT kookaburras have a completely different sound -and we only hear them out bush.

Nice! The kookaburra was my Mum’s favourite bird, so every time I hear one I think of her.

I can hear the kookaburras outside in the trees right now. Although they don’t sound as pretty as the bellbirds that are competing with them I love their raucous laughter. When we wake we sometimes see the kookaburras peering in our bedroom windows from the verandah railing – they are curious characters.
