Click on this YouTube link to hear the distinctive call:
Kookaburra flies across our path for several reasons. Their unique call, frequently heard at dawn and dusk as a way of establishing territory, engages us to interact and look at our playful side. In the most basic sense, sometimes we need to learn to laugh at ourselves, life in general and take everything within our stride. The difficult and painful situations in life can be made easier by a good laugh. It doesn't, by any means, take away the circumstance but it can help. The Kookaburra balances the quiet with this intense laughing call, there are times to heal with peace and quiet and times to heal with laughter and enjoyment. With this in mind, Kookaburra is a very efficient hunter, praying predominantly on small reptiles such as snakes and skinks/lizards. The characteristics of these are infused into Kookaburra Dreaming. Collectively there is an emphasis on healing, listening to those pesky daydreams and actually taking notice of what they are telling you. Our daydreams are often the gateway to our desires and the answer to the internal confusion that you feel. A quite Kookaburra is a gentle reminder that we are on the right path. A laughing Kookaburra is often that mental queue that alerts us to potential health problems that we aren't addressing. The healing qualities of Dreaming with these animals occurs not when every animal meanders past but when our attention is suddenly focused or drawn to the animals presence.
