How do kookaburras live together?

Kookaburras are social birds that often live in family groups, typically consisting of a mated pair and their offspring from previous breeding seasons. They establish and defend territories, which they communicate about through their distinctive laughing calls. These birds engage in cooperative breeding, where older siblings help care for the younger chicks, enhancing the survival of the family unit. Their social structure allows them to effectively hunt and protect their territory from intruders.
