baby kooka

Haig Park these days is home to rabbits and possums, but yesterday the Kelpie of Few Accomplishments and I encountered a baby kookaburra.

Despite being very fluffy it was still more than capable of flying when I tried to get closer for a better pic. No laugh however.

Got an image of Canberra you want to share with the world? Email it in to images@the-riotact.com .

Nice one. Love the Canberra birds. Weirdly, I seem to see millions of parrots but hardly any kookas.

If there’s a better looking bird than the Kookaburra I’m yet to see it.

I have plenty of pics of Rainbow Lorikeets in b & w. 🙁

If there’s a better looking bird than the Kookaburra I’m yet to see it.

Agreed re: birds (parrots!) being one of the best things about Canberra. Although, when I was asked recently what I thought was good about Canberra, I answered “low access barriers to participation in the life of the community” and got a funny look. I probably should have just mentioned parrots.

This is one of the top things to like about Canberra. Oh god, now I’m doing it.

Love the description of your dog! Brill.

Too cute. Totally made my day.
