The call
In chorus with the family
koo-koo-koo-koo-koo-kaa-kaa-kaa
In German it is also called Lachender Hans, “laughing Hans”. But what sounds like laughter is a territorial call: it warns other birds to stay away, as the Australian Museum writes.
The family often calls in chorus, above all at dawn and dusk. This is how it tells other kookaburras that its territory is occupied.
In the breeding season other kookaburras help out, usually young birds from the previous one to two years. Everyone in the group shares the rearing, and the parents are believed to pair for life.
At around 42 centimetres and 340 grams on average, it is one of the largest kingfishers. It lives almost everywhere in eastern Australia where suitable trees grow.
The perch
It waits quietly on a perch with a good view, then drops straight down.
Under the loupe
The side with the kookaburra carries the year and the mark P125.
On the other side: the effigy of King Charles III by Dan Thorne, along with the weight, fineness and face value. The design is by Kevin Bynder.

A picture by Kevin Bynder
The coloured design was painted by the Western Australian artist Kevin Bynder, his third for a coin. Among the Nyoongar the bird is called “kaa kaa”, as the Perth Mint writes.
