How do kookaburras use their beaks?

Kookaburras use their strong, pointed beaks primarily for hunting and feeding. They catch a variety of prey, including insects, small mammals, and reptiles, by swooping down and striking with precision. Their beaks are also used for territorial displays and vocalizations, as they are famous for their distinctive laughing calls, which help to establish their presence in the area. Additionally, they may use their beaks to break open hard-shelled prey like crustaceans.
