The bird is a Kookaburra. Every morning and evening in Australia they can be heard in crews of maybe 3 to 7 laughing loudly as a group together. They also do it from time to time throughout the day to announce that they have arrived in a new feeding ground.
Check this video to hear what I mean.
The one in the photo I found on the ground after a tree was felled near my mother's house. It needed to be cared for until it was able to hunt on its own so I raised it. It now knows and remembers me.
If Steem starts working out for me, I will very likely start making video content for the steem community.
