My favourite bird and personal totem from my early days is the magnificent Laughing Kookaburra (rhymes with looker).

Way off topic, but I use a kookaburra call as my ringtone.
I can always hear it, even if I'm out and about; And no one else has anything like it, so I know that it is my phone. (But I do have to make sure I turn off the ringer in meetings.)

Added Note:
Meako's post is in another thread. My comment was so far off topic that I moved my post here.

The buzzworm that rattle came off of shed likely more than 13 times. Each button forms each time a shed is done. However, the tip buttons on that rattle are missing. You cannot however tell a rattlesnakes age by counting the buttons. They made only shed once every two years or as often as twice a year. It all depends on how well the snake is feeding and lengthening and gaining weight.

Random useless fact lol. I've been a Herpetologist since I was 9 and made it official in 2004 with my degree in Biology, Major in Herpetology.

Does this mean you're an expert on lawyers, politicians, and salesmen?
 
Well done Robert-I keep 2 pythons.
Frank -no worries mate -As you know I have no word in my vocabulary for "off topic' ..errr what ever that means.:D
I'll see if I can record a decent sound off from the Kookas this evening. I may be able to send you an mp3 -individually tailored Kookaburra calls.
Probably by email?
cheers.

Correct. Plus that sucker didn't come off a baby. It came off a rattlesnake that molted at least 13 times.

This is a Great Basin Rattlesnake I killed a few years back. I normally don't kill them - just collect them and dump them off the house proper property but this one was in our back yard while the wife and grand kids were out there so I had to get rid of it fast. We usually see one or two of them a month during the summer but of course there are more around. Keeps you on your toes. I got this one with a shotgun.
