You are the Australian native bird, the Blue winged kookaburra, and you laugh so loud, particularly at dawn, you wake people up! You are the largest of the kingfisher family, a lot larger than most birds, and you like to sing in unison with all your friends. You are particularly good at laughing at people's misfortunes, in particular if somebody falls over whilst out doing their early morning walk! :) #1627184
