Because there are both forests and grasslands and deserts on the Australian continent, which also provides a rich and diverse living environment for various animals, and there is no competition from large mammals here, many animal species unique to Australia have slowly formed, and the kingfisher is one of these endemic animals.
Although most of us are not very familiar with the kingfisher, but for the Australian people is not strange at all, after all, the kingfisher is a unique bird in Australia, not only can make people laugh wildly, but also the small size of it can also repel the goshawk, and even in the Sydney Olympic Games was used as a mascot!

The kingfisher has a big white head, and wears a cute brown hat on their big head, and they have a brown patch on both sides of their cheeks, although it is said to be a patch, but it has no bad impact on their appearance, but adds to their temperament like a girl's blush.
The upper body of the laughing kingfisher is gray-brown, the feathers on the abdomen are between gray and white, and the feathers on their thorax are all white. If we want to distinguish the sex of the kingfisher, we can easily distinguish it by looking closely at the color of their wings.
On the wings of male kingfishers we can find some hidden blue feathers, while on the wings of female kingfishers we can only see gray feathers, and we can't find any trace of blue in any way.

Among the many kingfisher family members, the laughing kingfisher and the big fish dog are the largest kingfishers, but even if they are large, they are still a small one in front of birds of prey such as goshawks. Do you think that the kingfisher has just such a unique place, of course not, you look at its name, do you have an idea?
The reason why the laughing kingfisher is called the laughing kingfisher, of course, is because the laughing kingfisher sounds like a human laughing, although it sounds like a very strange thing, but if you think that a bird can make a laugh like a person, do you think it is cute?
Maybe the kingfisher knows that we humans are not resistant to laughter, laughing kingfishers often follow pedestrians with food on the streets of Australia, if they are not fed, they will not easily leave, but wherever pedestrians go, they fly and follow, and they will fly slowly after eating, no longer disturbing pedestrians.
Kingfishers, who prefer to live in groups, are generally composed of 1-5 families, and the members include not only the parents of the birds, but also their two generations of children.
When kingfisher parents are nursing newborn birds, the bird brother and bird sister born the previous year will also help their parents feed the newborn baby birds together, a phenomenon that is completely absent in most birds.

Laughing kingfisher's territorial concept is very strong, if there is an enemy who wants to fight their idea, they will go out to attack the intruder, probably because of the strength of the birds, even if the goshawk attacks the laughing kingfisher, it dares to attack, and may even let the goshawk have no return, so generally there will be no animals to attack the nest of the kingfisher, and the goshawks all go around it!
For the kingfishers who can repel goshawks, just living by fishing is not in line with their fierce temperament, so they have developed superb snake catching skills, and an adult kingfisher can easily kill large snakes such as rattlesnakes and Taipan snakes.
And even if the laughing kingfisher is not large but has superb hunting skills, they still know how to be lazy and leaky. We all know that in Australia, once the dry season comes, it is easy to cause a large-scale fire because of eucalyptus trees, and at this time, the kingfisher will crouch not far from the fire point to pick up burned and frightened prey.
Although the kingfisher lives only in Australia, its population is stable and has been evaluated as a non-existent species.
But even if such birds do not have an existential crisis, australians treat them like kangaroos, in short, they love the kingfisher, and they will not easily hurt them.
In fact, no matter which kind of animal they are, whether they are in the dilemma of extinction crisis, we humans cannot hurt them at will, but live in friendliness and harmony with them.
