John’s Cellpic Sunday
This is where I do an explanation of my phone photo from my Last on the Card post.
On Thursday afternoon I heard and saw a group of Kookaburras chasing each other around the garden. I suspect the parents were trying to send an offspring out of their patch to start life somewhere else.
Suddenly there was a loud banging and crashing in my house. I went to investigate and found a Kookaburra in the loungeroom next to the back door. There was a small hole in the screen door and I slowly slid the door across and the Kookaburra flew out. Once outside there was a loud cackling of all the Kookaburras in the trees.
Here is the back screen door and the beak shaped hole
I wondered about the hole as it was small and the wire was bent outwards. After a while I went to go out of the front door and this is what I found.
The wire on the screen is not soft nylon it is metal wire, not as hard as the rear screen door but hard enough. I was amazed that the Kookaburra wasn’t badly injured.

Firstly, a Kookaburra?! As a girl, we sang songs around a campfire about a Kookaburra but I’ve never seen one. Secondly, that bird needs “L” plates!

We occasionally get a thump on the kitchen window – usually it’s a Pigeon that has been frightened out of the weed-bed by something. Occasionally it’s a Sparrow or a Tit chasing a fly. Fortunately, no injuries so far👍 I bet a Kookaburra beak can do a lot of damage – perhaps it hammered its way in and out? interesting story Brian 😎👍

I have a number of dents and marks on windows as well. I have only found a couple of dead birds – broken necks – so far, The Kookaburra barged it’s way in 🙂

I wonder what treasure the bird wanted when we tried to get into your house. If the inside door had been open, you’d have had it flying around the house, eh?

Oh yes I was very careful and talked softly reassuring it as I slid open the screen door. I didn’t need a largish bird flapping around the house 🙂

I know. That’s why I included a photo of a Kookaburra in the header so you could see the size of their beaks. I was amazed that it just got up and flew away!!

It could have turned out deadly. I think this one had a special angle looking over it.

It certainly did. Their beaks are large and think but I reckon it closed its eyes just before impact 😂

In your “language” Kookaburras are about 18 inches in length and weigh up to one pound. I bet it had the fright of it’s life.

Thank you for the translation. Wow – that’s a big bird, and I agree, it had to have been frightening for it to crash into the screen!
