Kookaburras feed on worms, insects, small mammals and even snakes. Both parents raise their young, with the help of other family members.
Although kookaburras are common throughout Eastern Australia, there are things we can do to ensure this doesn't change. Kookaburras nest in tree hollows and termite mounds, so it's important not to cut down mature trees unless absolutely necessary. Also, kookaburras can become poisoned when they eat prey animals that have been contaminated with pesticides and other chemicals, so it's best to avoid using these.
