Kookaburra Vs Blue-faced Honeyeaters on a balcony

My usual kookaburra visitor seems nonplussed when a blue-faced honeyeater (also known as a Bananabird) tries to scare it off. The honeyeater gets some of his mates to come back, but the Kookaburra is bigger and not the least bit afraid. After they are gone, it sits there and grooms itself - it is the Lord of the Balcony.

Other birds can be heard in the background: crows, rosellas, myna birds, etc. Swifts are flying in the background looking for bugs in the air.

LOL I love this. The kookaburra is just sitting there taking in the views and the breeze without a care in the world. Just ignoring the honeyeaters, whilst thinking "I'm so gonna shit in their nest tonight if they don't cut it out".
