• W2400545586 abstract "The Laughing Kookaburra Dace/a novaeguineae has been a well known and much admired bird represented in many zoological collections around the world for many years. The impressive physical appearance and entertaining character of the Kookabun·a has placed it into a position of public interest and affection that few other nonpsittacines could possibly enjoy. As softbilled birds come increasingly under the spotlight as to whether aviculturists can really maintain these species into future generations and true avicultural establishment, then it soon hecomes clear that some genera and species will reproduce more successfully in captivity than others. The Kookaburra is one bird where the captive population is already self-sustaining and has a steady population growth. This bird should become more widely kept by an increasing number of aviculturists each year. The qualities of the Kookaburra a an  avicultural bird are clea r; its impressive appearance, its tame and inquisitive nature, its willingness to breed and its unique and evocative call which provides this bird with its common name all combine to make the Kookaburra an interesting and impressive aviary inhabitant. The Laughing Kookabu rra has long been on the list of my own favorite species that I have worked with. From the beginning of 1989 until the end of 1992 I maintained a number of pairs of Laughing Kookaburra in the collection of Birdworld Bird Park, where I was formerly Livestock Manager in England. Successful breeding was consistently achieved in each of the four breeding seasons with many young birds being reared by the parents and also by hand rearing methods during this time. Husbandry Kookaburras should be given a large aviary with plenty of flying space. In  countries of temperate climates a heated helter may well prove to be a good precaution. Plenty of height is one consideration in the de ign of the aviary that the birds will appreciate. Although naturally confident in their character, high aviaries do seem to give Kookaburras a much increased sense of ecurity and nest boxes which are situated with the entrance hole at least 60 em (24 in.) above the owner's head height inevitably prove to he more successful than those placed at a lower height. Aviaries for Kookaburras can he planted to improve their appea rance a Kookaburras generally will not unduly damage or interfere with plants. unless they are a ize the bird might like to perch upon. Perching should onsist of several shan horizontal perches f r resting upon , but these shou ld h:we plenty of open flying space between them. When fed  a diet whi h contains segment of dayold chick or segments of rodents, Kookaburras often heat their food against the perch , o r the walls of their shelter if the food dish is placed inside the shelter. This beating of the food items is done to tenderize their food. It is therefore necessa1y that any perching and/or wall areas <;'hich arc used bv the birds for this purpose should receive regular clean ing and disinfe tion. The diet of Kookaburras in captivi ty is principally anim:1 l matter. rn the wild these birds feed on many prey animals such as rodent .. lizards. snakes. larger insects and fish. In captivity the diet can be made up from a mixture of domestically bred mice. segment of day o ld chi cks. diced ox heart (or a good quality mince meat). segments of small fish and large insects such as locusts. At Birdworld, we also used soaked Zoo A pellets (produced by Special Diets Services for Zoological coll ections). Avicultllrists who do not have access to Zoo A pellets use alterernatives such as soaked canine biscuits. Locust and  young mice seem to he among the Kookaburras favorite food items and tame birds will often accept these items from the keeper's fingertips. A good quality multi-vitamin and mineral powder should he sprinkled over the food dish daily. Health care considerations for keeping Kookaburras are basically the same as for most other aviary birds. Worming should be carried out periodically and the birds' physical condition, appearance and behavior should be monitored for any signs which could be considered unusual. The often strong and individual personality of the Kookaburra can soon be learned by its owner and any sign of deviation from the normal can therefore be quickly noted. Breeding Sexing of Laughing Kookaburra can often be successfully achieved by looking at the amount of blue feathering on rhe upper wing and rump areas of the bird; these areas of blue are clearly apparent in the male, but are usually reduced or absent in the female. There are, however, exceptions to this rule and I have some females with a fair amount of blue marking that could lead to confusion if visual sexing were relied upon. More accurate methods of sexing include surgical sexing via endoscope and DNA sexing which requires a blood sample from the bird. Both of these techniques are widely practiced and should be available to the aviculturist." @default.
