How to age a Kookaburra


How to age a kookaburra
Methuselah (Boss)

Baby Kookas have a fair amount of brown on their necks & under their eye stripe.

They lose this as they get older.

The photos below are of this year's bubs (Brave Baby & Bully Baby - now 8 months old), Last years baby (Bitey - he's 18 months old) & Boss - well, he's as old as Methuselah.
