Blue-winged kookaburra — size comparison — facts and sources
The blue-winged kookaburra inhabits wooded landscapes of northern Australia and New Guinea. It has a massive bill, pale head and prominent blue wing patches. A member of the kingfisher family, it chiefly finds prey on land.
Watching the ground from a branch, it drops onto large insects, reptiles, amphibians and small mammals. Family groups defend territory with loud calls. Helpers may assist the breeding pair by bringing prey to nestlings.
