So heartwarming!

This is such a heartwarming story, Rabia. I loved how the kookaburra you had been longing to meet finally came into your life because he needed help. I can only imagine how that moment must have felt when he finally relaxed and began to trust you. 🫶✨

This is a beautiful story; my heart pounded a little with the anticipation, and it turned out to be quite a special experience 💚. I live in the SEQ hinterland. I have Kookaburras visiting daily, and I hear their collective song each morning at daybreak.

I absolutely loved reading this —your kookaburra story. You’re writing is beautiful. I live in Western Australia, but spent many years on the Gold Coast and many days in Brisbane.

Such a beautiful story.. and australia couldn't have given this beautiful bird a better tribute than naming the famous Kookaburra cricket ball after it. :)
