Mrs Kookaburra
Naturally.
The kookaburra is a large kingfisher bird, measuring 28-45 cm in length and weighing about 0.5 kg. It has a large square head with a very thick neck with strong neck muscles. In addition, the kookaburra has a large beak, which is almost as long as its head.
The kookaburra has a distinctive brown eye-stripe across its face and another fainter brown stripe on top of its head. Its large brown eyes give it excellent vision. The kookaburra's upper plumage is streaked in shades of dark brown. The wings are brown with blue or white freckles. Its lower plumage is off-white in colour. It has a reddish-brown tail with bands of black.
The average lifespan of a kookaburra is 15-20 years. They have one partner for life. Kookaburras live in loosely-knit family groups with clearly defined territories. The family unit consists of a monogamous male and female pair and up to 6 helper birds. These helper birds are older generations of offspring who help their parents to care for the next generation of siblings.
Kookaburras don't usually need to drink water as they get their requirements from their food. They do, however, love to bathe. This is probably a characteristic from their primordial past as kingfishers.
