They are regular Laughing Kookaburras, still quite young and I suspect mostly just dirty but they would be interesting to see after the next moult.

Dunno . .

The brown may be dirt but seems to follow a similar pattern in both birds

Oh for the good old days when it was quite legal to hold mutations of 'protected' birds such as these

Guy I know got a pretty good kick along from a 'white' black swan, back in the 70's
