In this 100+ year old photo from the Tyrrell Photographic Collection at the Powerhouse Museum, we see five adorable kookaburras perched on a branch.

Kookaburras are terrestrial tree kingfishers of the genus Dacelo, native to Australia and New Guinea, which grow to between 28–42 cm (11–17 in) in length. [source]
