A kookaburra is a bird from Australia. It is not a tiny : it has a strong and a round head, and it hunts small animals. People love it because of its call. The bird makes a loud sound that really does feel like someone laughing — first a chuckle, then a wild cackle that other kookaburras may join. That is why English speakers also say “laughing kookaburra.” You will meet the word in children’s songs, nature shows, and talk about Australia. It is a plain animal name, not slang. The laugh is the bird’s own voice, not a joke people taught it.
笑翠鳥
組成Borrowed from Wiradjuri guuguubarra, the name of the laughing kookaburra in that Aboriginal language of Australia. The English word is the bird’s own name, not a picture built from kook plus burra.
