Safari Ltd. Kookaburra

Native to Australia and New Guinea, the kookaburra was named after its unique call, the sound of which is actually onomatopoeic with its name. Its call had been said to sound like human laughter, and there’s even a species known as the laughing kookaburra as a result.

This kookaburra toy figurine is so amazingly lifelike that when you take it home, it might just let out a few calls of its own!
