I was last in Australia in 1999 and have very fond memories of watching a family of Laughing Kookaburra for an extended period. The young were as big as the adults by that stage.David M.

Nature is pretty cruel. There was actually 3 eggs and 3 successful hatchlings in this nest. We think there is a 3rd chick behind the biggie on the left but it was taking up so much room it was hard to tell.CountryMumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14761724941259576940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237865919006017597.post-8622534447658018852017-12-27T09:10:12.486+11:002017-12-27T09:10:12.486+11:00Babies are cute!!Babies are cute!!Bill https://www.blogger.com/profile/04779863708462822356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237865919006017597.post-53542268837532164792017-12-27T08:56:37.538+11:002017-12-27T08:56:37.538+11:00What a brilliant experience.

Normally the nest is between the top 2 bales, so very high up. You need a pretty long ladder to see in.
