Kookaburras feathers are black, blue and white
the taste of a snake is a true delight.
They don't mind a frog or a lizard too
they don't use a loo to do a poo.
They fly quite high
up in the sky,
then they come to the ground
without a sound.
They creep slowly to their prey
then catch it and eat it at midday,
In their mouth the beetles go crunch crunch
as they eat it all for their lunch.
They brush their teeth with beetle dung
and end it with the kookaburra song.
