These two Laughing Kookaborras were photographed at the, Raptor Domain, Birds of Prey - Kangaroo Island in South Australia, Australia. The laughing kookaburra is native to eastern mainland Australia, and has also been introduced to Tasmania, Flinders Island, and Kangaroo Island.

Some were also introduced to New Zealand between 1866 and 1880, but only those released on Kawau Island by Sir George Grey survived. Descendants of these individuals are found there today. Remnants of this population have been seen on the New Zealand mainland near Matakana.

Individuals were released at Perth, Western Australia, in 1898 and can now be found throughout southwest Australia.
