Kookaburra – Hand-Poured 999+ Silver Collectible Standard Edition The Laugh of the Wild. Joy Made Famous. The Kookaburra is one of the most distinctive birds in the world — the large kingfisher of Australia and New Guinea whose call sounds so unmistakably like laughter that it has become one of the most recognizable sounds in the natural world, and the subject of one of the most famous songs ever written for children. The Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree, surveying its territory with bright intelligent eyes and a large beak built for catching prey that most birds wouldn't attempt. This sculpture captures the Kookaburra in full: the sturdy form, the large head, the expressive eye, the whole unique personality of this remarkable bird.
