Description: An Australian kookaburra making a hollow for a nest in an arboreal termite nest, New South Wales, Australia. The relatively softer texture of the termite nest makes an ideal location for kookaburra's to burrow out a hollow to use as their own nest to hatch chicks. The termite nest provides an ideal water-resistant, insulated, protected home for kookaburras.
