VIDEO: ‘Extraordinary’ footage of orphan baby kookaburra

A Mount Evelyn woman has hand reared a baby kookaburra in her home, with a little help from some wild adult birds.

Sue Samphier has documented the bird’s progress on social media.

In one video, which Neil Mitchell has described as “extraordinary”, a wild kookaburra flies into Ms Samphier’s home to feed the orphan bird.

“because they make this little chirping noise it attracts the local kookaburras.

“We just opened the bathroom window … and the wild kookaburras came in.
