Artwork Description

Kookaburra is waiting for the sun to rise to wake the whole world up.

Kookaburra is a strong, bold energy which tends to resonate with god energies. You should pay attention to opportunities around you, and listen to nature and to the world around you, you may find that you are being given some important messages at this time. The kookaburra encourages us to use laughter as a form of healing.

The Laughing Kookaburra native to eastern Australia makes a very familiar call sounding like raucous laughter. Their call is used to establish territory among family groups, most often at dawn and dusk. One bird starts with a low, hiccuping chuckle, then throws its head back in raucous laughter.

The names of many of our iconic plants and animals come from Aboriginal words, including: kookaburra – from the Wiradjuri word gugubarra.

In general, Kookaburra symbolism is a sign of positivity. Like the Robin and Butterfly, when this spirit animal appears to you, it tells you to laugh, shine, celebrate, and focus on the bright side of life. Also, the Kookaburra meaning could be letting you know to seek the warmth of family and friends. If you have distanced yourself from those you care about, this fascinating bird tells you it is time to reconnect with them.
Additionally, Kookaburra meaning directs you to let go of all past hurts. In other words, this spirit animal is asking you to heal yourself emotionally. Seeing this bird might also be reminding you to support those in your circle going through difficult times.
