Belel (HD 181342)

Dreamy, giggly, slightly ditzy

"La la la~"


Blue-winged kookaburra (Dacelo leachii)

Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree,
Merry merry king of the bush is he.
Laugh, Kookaburra, laugh, Kookaburra,
Gay your life must be!

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Eating all the gumdrops he can see
Stop, Kookaburra, Stop, Kookaburra
Leave some there for me.

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree,
Counting all the monkeys he can see
Stop, Kookaburra, Stop, Kookaburra,
That's no monkey, that's me.
- Marion Sinclair

About the Dacelo Creature

Dacelos are terrestrial tree kingfishers that live in the jungles of Ark. The loud, distinctive call of the laughing Dacelo is widely used as a stock sound effect in situations that involve a bush setting or tropical jungle, especially in vintage Arkian movies.

They are found in habitats ranging from humid forest to arid savannah, as well as in areas in Ark City with tall trees or near running water. Though they belong to the larger group known as "kingfishers," Dacelos are not closely associated with water.

Based on the Kookaburra from Australia and New Guinea.
