I jokingly say “If I am ever kidnapped and they will only release me if you can tell them my favorite [fill in blank], the answer is [fill in appropriate answer].
The answer to what is her favorite bird? The answer would be Kookaburra. I loved these creatures before I lived in Oz, but loved them even more after I had lived there.
There was on that lived in one of the gum trees in our yard and it would laugh quite often, they typically laugh at dawn & dusk, but they seemed to laugh when it was ready to rain too. The laugh itself is a territorial thing though.
I think it’s funny because if you watch a movie or cartoon set in the jungle, they often use the laugh of the Kookaburra. Yeah, they don’t live in the jungle… I think they use it because it sounds a little like a monkey, but also like a bird, so they kind of have a diverse noise to use.
