<p>[QUOTE=&quot;antique85, post: 4280531, member: 7651&quot;]I just happen to see this post and&nbsp; I just happen to recognize the word Kookaburra.

It is diurnal, meaning it is most active in the daytime.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>The only reason I know about the Kookaburra is because one of the most wonderful happiest article I ever read is about an artist who builds a giant 15-foot tall Kookaburra that cackles with laughter to cheer up people in the pandemic: I know this is not related to antiques but I hope you don&#039;t mind if I post the link to this article: <b><font size="4">&quot;<a href="https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/sculptor-made-15-foot-tall-laughing-kookaburra-lockdown-180975084/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/sculptor-made-15-foot-tall-laughing-kookaburra-lockdown-180975084/" rel="nofollow">https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/sculptor-made-15-foot-tall-laughing-kookaburra-lockdown-180975084/</a>&quot;</font></b></p><p><b><font size="4"><br /></font></b></p><p><b><font size="4"><img src="https://thumbs-prod.si-cdn.com/ufulY0aRg7AhpNHdkpWognxQ0Ow=/800x600/filters:no_upscale()/https://public-media.si-cdn.com/filer/0e/c2/0ec2674b-f349-4f97-a9b7-0aaa4a405d91/img_8867_copy1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></font></b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
