Bird: not on a wire

While we're on the subject of our feathered friends, I thought you might like to see this photo. It's a Kookaburra, sitting on the arm (not a wire) of Lisbeth's friend who's currently on holiday in Australia.

Honolulu Zoo writes "The Australian aborigines have a legend about the Kookaburra. When the sun rose for the first time, the god Bayame ordered the kookaburra to utter its loud, almost human laughter in order to wake up mankind so that they should not miss the wonderful sunrise. The aborigines also believed that any child who insulted a kookaburra would grow an extra slanting tooth."
