Kookaburras are the largest of the Kingfisher family.
They mate for life and take so long to rear their young that they rarely have more than one clutch each season.
They nest in hollows found in trees and termite mounds.
Incubation and feeding of the chicks is carried out by all members of the family group.
Once the young reach independence, most stay to help parents defend the territory boundaries and rear further clutches.
 
This is Kooka, who resides at Wildlife Sydney Zoo.  She was rescued with a wing injury, which never healed enough for her to fly again, this meant she was unable to be released back into the wild. 
However,  she has the best protected life being 'free-range' at the zoo along with another un-releasble Kookaburra!
