Over the weekend, my children and I and some good friends took in the National Zoo. Have you been lately, and have you stopped at the Bird House? It was wonderful, and I was especially pleased to see a Kookaburra there--just like we've been talking about and singing about in my Village class! We've also been talking about birds in Imagine That! and Young Child, and I think all will enjoy that Bird House. Owls, Birds of Paradise, great big spotted hens, ducks, a sweet little guy called a mousebird--and on and on. Definitely worth a visit.
Until you go, here's a recording of an Australian Kookaburra's famous laugh, just as we sing about in the well-known old folk song. http://home.iprimus.com.au/punkclown/Punkclown/Kooka.htm
