Kookaburra Sits On My Balcony
Merry Merry King of Surry Hills Is He
Laugh Kookaburra, Laugh Kookaburra
Gay, your life must be.

Well, this is Surry Hills.

Seriously though, what a joy this was to have this little fella visit for about half an hour this afternoon.

    We had a kookaburra hanging round our place for a while a couple of years ago. My housemate thought: “How cute!” and took a few pictures of the kookaburra with his phone. It often perched on a tree above our fish pond. Then one day my housemate saw the kookaburra on the fence on the other side of the yard with a red-gold object in its beak… The remainder of the fish became a lot more cautious; a carapace of metal fencing has been installed above the pond; and we never saw the kookaburra again.
