Australian Kookaburra’s laugh filmed in slow motion

  • The Kookaburra was filmed by Connor Margetts from Adelaide, Australia
  • The laughing bird sounded more demonic in slow motion that it does naturally
  • Named Dacelo, the pet seemed to be having a right good time with its owner

Filmmakers looking for their next villain should consider this kookaburra who has the best villainous laugh. 

Dacelo, a Laughing Kookaburra bird, was recorded howling in slow motion which sounded more demonic than endearing. 

Named after the genus Dacelo, which is native to Australia and New Guinea, was recorded by owner Connor Margetts from Adelaide, Australia.

The bellowing laughter is even more entertaining through the slow motion feature which added the villainous element. 

Without the slow motion, the laughter is shrill and quick, making the feathers on its neck vibrate.

The tree kingfisher seems in its element, opening up its beak wide as if really is laughing at something.  

The natural shrill laughing sound soon turned into something more dark and evil as it sounded more like a villainous laugh

Resting on a tree branch, the brown and white bird moves its whole body as it vibrates with laughter. 

At one point it looks directly at the camera, making it seem even more like an evil character in an action film. 

The video ends with a transition back into real time as the once formidable sound goes back to its high-pitched shrill.
