say aloha to our animals
They are predominantly brown in color and have a head crest of the same coloring. Its bill is black on the upper part and a pinkish color on the lower part of the bill.
The Australian aborigines have a legend about the Kookaburra. When the sun rose for the first time, the god Bayame ordered the kookaburra to utter its loud, almost human laughter in order to wake up mankind so that they should not miss the wonderful sunrise.
