Blue-Winged Kookaburra Hatchling

Successful hatch: Blue-winged kookaburra

In a statement, the Park said: “Not everything goes to plan at the Nature Park and this was the case with our resident pair of Blue-winged Kookaburras.

“After laying their eggs in a hollow log on the ground, we normally allow the parent to incubate and raise their offspring but unfortunately with the heavy rains one of the eggs was damaged and it was decided to remove the last remaining egg.”

It is good thing that Port Moresby Nature Park is equipped to care for the fertile eggs and artificially incubate them.
