The Kookaburra is 18 inches long and weighs one pound. It has a big square head and a huge beak, which helps this bird eat snakes, insects, and lizards. To eat a snake it first swoops down and grabs the snake behind its head and then flies high into the air only to drop the snake to kill it. When calling each other, the Kookaburra sounds like a person laughing. It is named the world’s biggest kingfish, a strange name because it doesn’t even eat fish.
