What's that other Australian bird that makes a sound like "woowoowoowoowoo" in a fast manner? You can hear it on 808 State's "Pacific". -- Abdull 15:35, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
When I learnt that song it was "coolabah tree" not "old gum tree". Quolnok 14:31, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
I thought you might actually have heard a pheasant call. it's a low-ish woo-woo-woo-woo-woo sound, too. not sure where to find an example online, but it's a sound that is pretty distinct. Are you asking for the cucko pheasant call? is so i have a recording of it [have plenty of them were i live] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Littlepaty46 ( talk • contribs) 06:12, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
I took this picture recently, would there be any where it can be placed? -- KaiAdin 13:43, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
Three tries, and I still can't fix it. I give up. Somebody please put the images into a gallery... Please? goffrie ( talk) 00:15, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
There is no mention in the "Culture" part of the article of the Kookaburra Sport company and, in particular, the kookaburra cricket ball which is widely used in test cricket. Perhaps someone should include this? Elostirion ( talk) 23:05, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
I would suggest an entry in Culture, or a new section called Popular Culture (or whatever that section should be) for an entry about the sound of the laughing kookaburra, played backward, as the iconic sound of the bottle nosed dolphin, used in nearly every television show and movie since Flipper. The sound has even recently appeared in a Dairy Queen commercial. I believe I even heard the stock "dolphin" sound in one of the James Bond movies, near the end. Was it Casino Royale? Was it another movie, but it took place in the Mediterranean? Possibly even The Talented Mr. Ripley? In any case, the laughing kookaburra should be given credit where credit is due. giggle 01:38, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
This sound shows up often enough and there is enough interest to attempt to catalog its use. By the way, I believe the movie to which you refer was "The Bourne Identity." The sound does show up during the exterior shot of "Marie's" scooter rental shop prior to the last scene. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Docpelletier ( talk • contribs) 15:18, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
in your article you refer to the laughing kookaburra as sexually dimorphic which i understand is how we can distinguish between male and female but apparently that only applies to the blue winged kookaburra my question is how can i tell the female from the male in the species of the laughing kookaburra? [i have search several books without finding an answer if anyone knows i will be really grateful since i get about 6 of the birds always at my place. littlepaty46 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Littlepaty46 ( talk • contribs) 06:34, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

I recall reading on several occasions that the voice of Flipper the Dolphin was a heavily modified and edited kookaburra song. This may only apply to the American television series of the mid 1960s and possibly the 1963 movie on which it was based. Can anybody confirm this with proper citation? Hopefully somebody with editing experience can research citations and amend the entry in the proper format. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.235.68.109 ( talk) 03:01, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
