This giant kingfisher, also called a kookaburra, has predominantly brown plumage on its back and wings, contrasted by cream shades on its chest and head. A wide dark band crosses its eyes, emphasizing its piercing gaze. Its wings have delicate spotted patterns, and the tip of its tail is adorned with red feathers marked with white. Its robust and slightly hooked beak, with a grayish tint, is perfectly adapted to its carnivorous lifestyle. Perched elegantly, this bird imposes itself by its stature and its natural presence.
