Thank YOU soooo much, Jendefer!
That is 100% the call of an Australian Laughing Kookaburra that I had in mind.
May I also say that in every instance that I can remember when having put a question to the Fediverse hive mind, I have received an accurate or appropriate response.
(Disclaimer: I cannot swear to being able to remember ALL the times that I have queried the hive mind, but I certainly recall all the helpful ones -- which has been practically ALL of them.)

I was woken this morning by two kookaburras making a racket down the side passage. Turns out their beaks were stuck together (!)

While they scrambled and fought, trying to pull apart, a currawong sat on the fence commentating the life-or-death struggle.

After my sleepy brain had made sense of what the bloody hell was going on, I fetched some gloves and gently prised them apart. They both flew off in high dudgeon.

What a surreal start to the day.

There are many Australian animals whose calls end up in films, playing other things. Koalas are very popular as dinosaurs and large reptiles.

Got woken up at 5am this morning by a very chatty kookaburra outside my window. Rude.

For non-Australians, you already know what a kookaburra sounds like! It's the sound of "monkeys" in Hollywood movies.

It's a very strange experience as an Aussie, watching something set in the jungle and there's just a random kookaburra there.
