Kookaburras love to sit in the sun
Hunting for food is their form of fun
Big round eyes and large strong beak
Ready to pounce on the prey which they seek
Fluffy feathers of blue, brown and white
Camouflaged well from everyone’s sight
They eat reptiles and rodents until they are sate
Or large juicy steaks from your BBQ plate!
They are up with the dawn as soon as its light
You will probably hear them so don’t get a fright
Soft cackling and hooting to begin with at first
Reaching a crescendo with a loud finishing burst
KOO KOO KOO KOO KOO KAA KAA KAA
