I'm just Kookie about you ducky!
They should be predator and prey but this baby Kookaburra and tiny duckling have struck up an extraordinary friendship on the Isle of Wight, UK.
In the wild, the six-week old Kookaburra, called Kookie, would not have thought twice about eating his companion for lunch. But the pair seem to have developed an exceptionally unusual bond - after both being orphaned at birth. Kookie was saved by staff at the Seaview Wildlife Encounter, near Ryde in the Isle of Wight, after they feared his parents would kill him.
And the duckling was rescued from one of the park's aviaries because he was thought too small to defend himself against larger birds. Keepers took a chance and decided to see what would happen if they were put together.The duckling instantly cuddled up under Kookie's protective wing, thinking he was his mum and, amazingly, Kookie didn't seem to mind playing the caring parent.

In the wild, the 6-week-old Kookaburra, called Kookie, would not have thought twice about eating his companion for lunch.
But the pair seem to have developed an unusual bond - after both being orphaned at birth.
Kookie had to be saved by staff at the Seaview Wildlife Encounter, near Ryde on the Isle of Wight, after his parents went crazy and killed their other two offspring.
And the rare 2-day-old Madagascar Teal duckling was rescued from one of the park's aviaries because he was too small to defend himself against larger birds.
Initially the pair were kept separate but staff had concerns for the tiny duckling, who was obviously lonely and missing his mum.
So their keepers cautiously introduced the pair.
To their amazement the duckling instantly cuddled up under the Kookaburra's protective wing and Kookie didn't seem to mind playing the caring parent.
While they are hopeful the pair will remain friends for life, staff at the wildlife park admit they may have to separate them in future.
