Yeah. Probably because we rely on our vision so much to tell us things and neglect awareness of other senses, whereas animals are constantly in tune with every sense, so the lack of sight just removes visual stressors and they still have other senses informing them.

I've wondered how you're neighbors feel about your pets, especially your kookaburra's since they are so loud. Do they not care or have you come to an agreement with them on something?
I think her neighbors live too far from the house to here them. I imagine all the houses have large yards like hers then I don't think they would really hear.
She did mention house hunting, although not sure if that's related. 🤣 I'm sure it's important to find neighbors who are ok with the animal sounds. I would be!
I live in Australia and when one of the people on my street would go onto his balcony he would get swarmed by kookaburras I think it’s because he fed them and he even named one Jackie (P.s he didn’t rlly get swarmed the kookaburras would sit on the balcony fencing thing but anyways they would sit there staring and waiting until he fed them)
*After watching an Emzotic video..* Husband: Wh.. why are you smacking your carrots against the table? Me: (with a carrot in my mouth) I must tenderize my prey! Husband: **slowly backs away with the car keys** Me: **kookaburra laughter** Edit: Holy moly, thanks everyone😂❤
You can build a really easy pond by getting a big black storage tub (the slightly flexible ones not super shiny black ones) 100L+ is better, dig it into the ground so the temperature stays stable. Add dechlorinated water, a pond plant and a few leaves and let sit like you would a fish tank and add fish, they'll stay alive much longer and the kookaburras get do dive into it. My partners parents had 2 set up built into their deck and when the local kookaburras found it they loved it so much and ate all their goldfish hahaha. The plants provide a bit of oxygen but gives the fish shelter so they aren't too easy to catch, you can also get solar water pumps for around $10 on ebay and put that in there. Just don't put them under a perch where they can fill it with poop! You could also build a strong mesh lid to put over it for when you don't want them to go in there.
@@LWren-nr6ud wasn't directly at you, was adding in to who ever read what you said since goldfish are sold as feeders but are actually the worst diet you can feed any animal.
Just watching them was amazing I swear cook is talking to her telling her what to do and what's happening where she's at and how things work and helping her to adjust to her new surroundings and the flirting oh my goodness!!! Are both amazing and beautiful creatures! And you both do an amazing job educating people on all the beautiful creatures that you have hopefully with education will come admiration and less destroying!
You must love animals to put up with those hellscape noises. 🤣 I wouldn’t be able to live with it. Glad I’m not your neighbor. That being said they are beautiful.
When i was a kid the kookaburras used to like hanging out on our balcony railing. My mum used to feed them small bits of meat. I loved hearing them laugh and I still do. Honestly you get used to the noise, its just like living next to a busy road, it just becomes bachground noise.
This is weird. My husband and I were looking up Baba Yaga folklore yesterday, and ever since then her name keeps randomly popping up. Awesome name for her!
Once Babayaga gets her tail feathers and fixes her beak, how will you be able to tell them apart? Is there a distinctive difference between Babayaga and Babakooks?
From what I saw, Kook has more white on his face as well - Yaga’s face is darker. At least that’s how I was able to tell them apart while watching the video. :)
Your house must sound like a tropical rainforest with those gorgeous kookaburras! So glad they have such loving and well informed owners taking care of them! Thank you for sharing your knowledge of these amazing creatures with us!
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree eating all the gumdrops they can see. That was a song we use to sing in first grade. The birds are so fascinating it takes a special patient person to be able to take care of their needs like you do thanks.
Hopefully this one will like you more than Babakook does lol. She's very sweet, so fun to see them together. I bet it gets so loud though! Love bonus Grinchy.
I’m in Brisbane Australia and have a flock of kookies who visit my neighbour every evening at 5pm for a feed of raw mince. Babies go first then the adults and once they leave magpies come and get what’s left. I LOVE their laugh. Much much nicer than the sulphur crested cockatoos that make an absolute racket. I back onto thousands of hectares of forest so we have all sorts of birds throughout the year. All of the beautiful colourful ones like cockatiels, budgies, lorikeets etc come and sit in the garden👌 One of the cutest I’ve seen is the tawny frog mouth. Incredibly well camouflaged and hard to spot against the tree they’re perched in 👌 Looks like you are going to enjoy these two. I hope they get along and end up ‘committing’ to one another 🤞👍
As someone from Eastern Europe, where the Baba Yaga myth originated, I wanted to note that Baba Yaga is pronounced bah-bah yah-gah, not yay-gah. Whether or not you want to pronounce it the "proper" way is all you. Just thought I'd let you know.
This is probably one of my favourite an one of the best video's you've done. Very interesting filled with great facts an footage. Actually educational an fun to watch without being overdramatic. Nice!
I can hear that sweet boy presto!!!! Its awlays good to see grinch and im super excited that baba has a friend i really hope they stick! Their laugh is super contiguous.
If it helps, they are not just pets. they are animal ambassadors, meaning their job is to help educate the public on wildlife and why it is important to protect nature
I live in Queensland, Australia and Kookaburra's aren't that hard to find in the wild. They are amazing birds and sometimes in the mornings I hear them laughing on my roof.
Australia here! Kookaburras breed in a family group. I live with them all around me. Family groups here are usually around 7 birds, and consist of Mum and Dad and the older siblings who stick around for 3 or 4 years. They all help brood the eggs and around 3 chicks hatch. Within a few days only the strongest chick or two is left, as they fight it out and only the strongest ones survive. Then they all help raise that new young one.
I live here in Australia and we have 2 main species of kookaburra. Baba kook is a blue winged kookaburra and Baba yaga is a common kookaburra. I would highly recommend looking into the different species. I'm not sure if you will be able to breed the because of that reason. ❤❤
They are absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for sharing this video 💕 I did learn a few things about these guys 💕 you are awesome Em and you inspire me so much!!!
Such a shame to see what she went through. We have 4 that come each day -morning and dusk. They are a wild bird and it is such a pleasure to see them free and not caged. I found this you tube very sad
Would you be open to doing a more in depth video on being an animal educator? I know you did one in the past but it didn’t have much information on the career itself or how exactly the “agencies” work. I’m currently researching different careers and there isn’t much online about animal education as a career and I would love to learn more
EM you are so personable and you content is so informational and entertaining!! Maybe one day I’ll add some avian friends to my family, check out the video I did on my reptile room!
This video makes me so happy because like I knew kookaburras existed but I didn't know much about them outside of the little song we sang about them in chorus
Dang, they are loud! Although, I do like there sound more than annoying parrot squawks and screeches. That would drive me nuts. Especially Mango's or other sun conures! (RIP Mango)
I live right on a creek, in Victoria, Australia and I swear the kookies love to wake me up at crazy hours. I love the kookies and all Aussie wildlife (i get a lot around me).

Yasss
That was an awesome video 🥰 thanks for making it
Kookaburras are awesome and thanks for the link :)
It's so strange how blindfolding animals makes them calm, while blindfolding humans in the same situation would make them freak out
Yeah. Probably because we rely on our vision so much to tell us things and neglect awareness of other senses, whereas animals are constantly in tune with every sense, so the lack of sight just removes visual stressors and they still have other senses informing them.
@@MadCheshireHat yeah.
That's coz we are not animals by nature. We are monsters who have no respect for the environment and destroy everything.
On the other hand, my cat freaks out when he gets blindfolded. Maybe he's secretly human? lol
333pinkelephant333 cats are just crazy animals (no offense) and they don’t like stuff covering their eyes. My dog literally just freezes when a blanket is thrown on him.
You know what this video taught me. Kooks are just 20 year old lawnmowers that you need to try starting ten times before they start going.
😂😂😂😂

He always seemed to be such a nice and loving person. I´m just glad that she did get out of there
@@marcuse.4791 I know, right.

I'm pretty sure my apartment that doesn't allow pets won't notice if I snuck in a kookaburra. They're so quiet and undemanding.
Quiet?

I can't control the weather Jackie!
This used to happen to me but with magpies, they even went as far as coming into our house
Kahli Fontaine My neighbour across the road feeds them every day on his front lawn.

They are both SO adorable. Babayaga is beautiful . Their "Laugh" make me think to an old car engine tryin to run for the first time in years, lmao.

Bit don't ever feed goldfish, minnows or any carp family. They contain thiaminase which blocks thiamin production which is essential for health.
@@babydonnaP Yes, we weren't feeding them the goldfish, they were pets and a wild kookaburra came and ate them.
@@babydonnaPniceee and he didn't do the feeding intentionally. he's just giving them ideas for a nicer looking and naturalistic "fish hunting grounds"

Is it weird that that's my favorite part lol 😂
How do you think we feel in Australia with wild Kookaburras? :P
Although it's generally not a problem unless you live in a more rural area.
Thats just what its like being a bird owner, they can be SO loud
When i was a kid the kookaburras used to like hanging out on our balcony railing. My mum used to feed them small bits of meat. I loved hearing them laugh and I still do. Honestly you get used to the noise, its just like living next to a busy road, it just becomes bachground noise.
Trying walking to your car on a foggy morning and just hearing that laughter... that’s what it’s like with the mating pair in our area.
Best disclaimer i've ever seen in an exotic animal video, thanks for being such a great ambassador and caring for the animals so well!
I am pretty sure if someone stole a kook, they would return it pretty fast. The noise those animals make is insane!
I'm so glad you discouraged people from having these as pets! as an aussie who gets to see these guys in the wild... omg they are FULL ON
The sounds they make when communicating sound kind of like the special effects Jurassic World movies use for the velociraptors. LOL :)
they kinda look like feathery dinosaurs too
Very happy for the disclaimer at the beginning. Thanks. She's in terrible shape. poor baby.
I volunteer with birds of prey and last time I went I held a kookaburra!💞💙 he was surprisingly well behaved lol!

@@epicfromepicgames8222 Not at all non-beautyful
Epic FromEpicGames that is 100% correct, they sound beautiful. I have 5 of them that come to my house and I feed them.

I appreciate the disclaimer in the beginning :) proof you’re an educator rather than a pet channel endorsing exotic animals
I was confused, thinking this was posted awhile ago since I hadn’t seen it yet. But look at her! Now you have two soul-eaters! :)
Being Australian, this is one of the lovely and diverse fauna we get to expirence day to day
They're so obnoxious yet endearing at the same time
I love how their patterns are very similar but different enough tell them apart. Very beautiful birds ❤️
Once Babayaga gets her tail feathers and fixes her beak, how will you be able to tell them apart? Is there a distinctive difference between Babayaga and Babakooks?
Ella Hardy males have blue feathers on their wings, females have more brown colours
From what I saw, Kook has more white on his face as well - Yaga’s face is darker. At least that’s how I was able to tell them apart while watching the video. :)
Yeah I can see his blue feathers.
Their facial markings are slightly different
Yaga's bottom beak is darker than Kook's, the dark marks go longer until turning white for her beak.
I noticed you said "newest kookaburra in our family" and not "last kookaburra for our family"... You're going soft since you got your puppy Em! 😂💕
I love it how Danny just speaks with them. They look like they might have long, intens talks about the perks of life... or food. Probably about food
Maybe the bird is talking about freedom to fly but hey how would we know?
Watching Danny interact with the kookaburras is such a joy!
I would much rather watch Em try and set up kookaburra couples than the bachelor/bachelorette.
Not even joking
Anyone else played over that ending a million times!? Omg 🥰🥰😍😍😍
thay were like YES A NEW FRIND!!!! XD
I’m Australian and I wake up every morning to their cry! They hang around in our trees. They’re such amazing birds
What a lovely enclosure for those two, I have always wished I could have enough experience and a large enough yard for beautiful animals like these.
Your house must sound like a tropical rainforest with those gorgeous kookaburras! So glad they have such loving and well informed owners taking care of them! Thank you for sharing your knowledge of these amazing creatures with us!

Hello Em!Have not seen your videos in awhile!Enjoyed this very much!
The kookaburras in my garden went crazy for this video 😂
(I live in Australia so they're wild)
i always forget how amazing these birds truly are
"I don't consider my kookaburras as pets!" *Title literally reads MY NEW PET KOOKABURRA*
She means they're not ideal pets.
They are an essential sound for any movie with a setting in tropical Africa or South America . . . despite not living there!!!
Thank you for the intro. Idk, i still get bummed with birds in cages. They’re very cute and silly though
"Exceptonally loud..." Never was a more understated fact been uttered.
Danny: wanna say goodnight to her buddy?
Cooc: screams*
Yaga: joins in screams*
*screaming intensifies*
I wake up to these outside my window almost every morning!
Danny is the king of kookaburras!

i think in america they pronounce it like that. I am from bulgaria and a lot of names they pronounce different

its so foreign to me u have these kooks as pets like they just come and scream on my fence everyday i love it tho
All they do is laugh😂 it’s funny better than magpies that swoop your head😂🤦🏽♀️ love from Sydney❤️
Totally random and off topic but I think en should give us one time a concert of "My reflection" song. Her voice is so soft and nice

They make so awesome sounds
As someone who has to put up with it every morning. It really isnt
The Kookaburra Cal's are like someone starting a Harley Davidson.
Just need to hook Grinchy up with a companion, hopefully you can find a nice CB mate one day.

They are so ROUND and LOUD!!!!!! Certified Pals.
I forgot her name was Baba Yaga 😂 хахаха даааааа хорошо. Я люблю 😍
I love how you can start a chain reaction with their laugh
we have a nickname in german for the kookaburras: "lachender Hans" what translats into "laughing hans".
