Koo-koo, kookaburra! Birds

Can the emu catch up with the bus? Do bears eat butterflies? What is didgeridoo and what to cook with nettle? "Koo-koo, kookaburra!" is a podcast for children about how different life is in Russia and Australia. Audio in Russian only.

Asia Ukolova and Irina Burmistrova chat with young guests from Russia and Australia. We tell stories, sing, laugh, wonder and learn from each other.

In this episode, we discuss with Martin from Moscow whether cockatoos can meow, how a kookaburra laughs, how many songs a nightingale knows, and how cyclists protect themselves from magpies.
