About this word search
The Kookaburra on this list is itself a kingfisher, one of the largest in the world, though it does not need water to hunt and happily eats lizards and insects. Children often enjoy that fact, and it gives Kingfisher and Kookaburra a link beyond their opening K. Another local character is the Magpie, famous for swooping during the spring nesting season.
Here the words run across, down or diagonally and never backwards. Kookaburra is the longest, and its double O makes it easy to follow once found. Owl and Crow are much smaller and tend to hide in busy corners, so circle them near the end.
Then carry the sheet into the yard and tick off any bird you see or hear within half an hour.
