The kookaburra has a length of about 42 centimeters and a weight of 310 to 480 grams. The kookaburra has a long, stout bill and is cream colored on the head and breast. The crown is brown and under it runs another wide, brown eye stripe. On the brown wing there are some blue colored cover feathers and the tail is reddish brown with dark banding. Males and females are very similar. The male sometimes has some blue spots on the rump. Unlike many other, mostly small species of kingfishers, this kingfisher is not water-bound but hunts land animals: insects, snails, frogs, reptiles and sometimes small birds. The kookaburra is a resident bird that is originally endemic to eastern, southeastern Australia. Its habitat consists of deciduous forests and grasslands but also in agricultural areas and near human settlements, such as in gardens and city parks
