THE KOOKABURRA AND THE CANE TOAD OF AUSTRALIA.

This is the Australian bird, the kookaburra. The sound it makes sounds like a laugh. It is quite loud. The kookaburra is also a family of the kingfisher bird, it lives on insects, worms, small frogs.
This kookaburra is quiet tame, my brother often gives it small pieces of meat and when he digs up his garden, it will fly down to pick up the grubs from the soil.

This cane toad fell into a small pond, fill up by the rain, couldn't get out and was drown. The cane toad is now a pest, it breeds very quickly, eats every little insect, bugs and what ever they can find.
Dog food and kitchen scraps, the poison on the back of the cane toad will kill most animals big and small. It has been recorded that even a crocodile died after eating a cane toad. They have moved closer to homes, where it is easy to find food, so now you'll find them around your gardens and back yard.
