Laugh Kookaburra Laugh
SYDNEY, Australia Some have taken to baking to while away the
hours during coronavirus lockdown; others embraced gardening. For Farvardin
Daliri, it was the perfect opportunity to complete his magnum opus: a
15-foot-tall replica of a bird known as a laughing kookaburra.
He said he just wanted to cheer people up in these gloomy times.
If a bird can laugh, why not me? said Mr. Daliri, 65, who unveiled his work
this week by towing the kookaburra, a beloved Australian icon, around his block
in suburban Brisbane, where it cackled its distinctive laugh through a sound
system installed inside.
He posted video of his project online without much thought. To his shock, it
went viral, hailed by some as a perfect antidote for this moment. Others were
simply confused.
